Win10 Creators Update will not install on some Atom/Clover Trail computers

A damning report from Ed Bott on ZDNet.

UPDATE: Paul Thurrott has a contrary opinion in this tweet:

“The following Intel processors are not CURRENTLY supported by the Win10 Creators Update.” Drivers ARE coming. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/intel-clover-trail-processors-are-not-supported-on/ed1823d3-c82c-4d7f-ba9d-43ecbcf526e9

And Paul draws a sobering conclusion in his paywalled article Windows as a Disservice:

Any company could, at any time, stop supporting any one component in any given PC. And if that end of support is serious enough—like Intel declining to update 3-to-4-year old bargain basement CPUs like those Atom chips at the heart of this matter—that means that Microsoft may be forced to no longer support Windows 10 on that PC. The lifetime of that device has come to a close.

As I’ve said many times before, subscribing to Paul’s Premium service is well worth the $48/year (initial offer).
