Soooooooooo, all the desktops at work run windoze 7, boss wanted new desktop to run same which makes sense.
Microsoft in their infinite wisdom because the uptake of windoze 10 is not happening as they had planned, decide to lock out new generation CPU's from receiving windoze updates starting with AMD's "Bristol Ridge" and Intels "Kaby Lake"
When I bought the bundle from PC Case Gear I didn't know about this
When I found out (reading the motherboard specks) I was hoping for a work around.
initially everything went smoothly, 7 operating system loaded sweet, overclocked CPU to 4.9 GHz, sweet little unit humming along nicely
To my surprise windows update worked!
Downloaded and installed over 200 updates over night.
then today I got this when installing another 10 updates that came through
did a lot of googling today and nobody had any answers.
So I did a little bit of uninstalling of the last few updates and can't believe I have such a simple fix
I am currently downloading these updates which previously I could not get because of the lock out I had encountered.
If I am right the culprit if anyone is interested is update (KB 4012218)
Edit: the "learn more" button in the first pic tells you to upgrade to windoze 10
