• Could somebody please explain the new Win7 and 8.1 Meltdown/Spectre “unbootable” AMD patches to me?

    Whotta mess. Patches are flying all over and they don’t make any sense. Win7 and 8.1 get new Security-only AMD patches to replace the old ones, but there’s no indication which machines are supposed to get them — and no advice about which version’s the “best.”

    And there’s nothing at all for Win10.
