Due to the security requirements of the new processors. Sorry to say, but in 2 more years when Windows 10 is EOL, you will be ready for an upgrade. Unless you like working on 15 year old OS's and 7 year old PC's

They could be like Apple and just put out new PC’s with their OS’s on it and force you to buy an entire new rig if you want the latest and greatest. But they don’t, and it amazes me when people complain about having to update their aging PC’s in order to run the latest OS. I think you would be better served by running Linux. Then you can run whatever you choose for however long you choose. You’re choice!
