    Insufficient reason. Leave that decision to those that invested in their systems. Our systems are rock solid with the Core i7-7700K. It’s obvious tgat there is an agenda at play and it’s not to better serve their customers in this instance. Our computers exceed all of the real requirements. Someone will eventually challenge it more formally. You would think that lessons learned would be built into MS’s process by now.
