Thats a myth created by microsoft to force people to buy windows 10 no
matter if they want it or not.

It is an artificial limitation - all they did was stop driver
development for the various peripherals (nic, usb, etc) and add a
windows update blocker which can be removed.

Yeah of course its not like new cpus lack old instruction sets or what not.

Although I would recommend you instead purchase a system without ME/PSP
such as the owner controlled libre firmware KGPE-D16/KCMA-D8. New x86 is
dead for freedom/security - let us hope that qubes is soon ported to
OpenPOWER so we can run on a libre firmware TALOS 2 (OpenPOWER is
currently the only owner controlled cpu arch)

Hello forum.
Actual Intel CPU's do not anymore support Windows 7 and Qubes 4 does
require modern hardware...
Question:
Are Windows 7 based AppVMs supported on "Windows10-only" hardware?
Thank's for your feedback!
