I changed the thread title as it seems quite possible International Business Times (original source for the article) got it wrong, intending to say Kaby Lake and using Skylake by mistake. If I find an actual correction I'll post it here and change the thread title again to reflect that.
I haven't heard from any other source that Skylake is included in the update shenanigans from M$, so I'm going to declare "fake news" on this one. Unless and until someone can offer some definitive proof to support the article I linked to this is a non event as far as I'm concerned.

Anybody know if this might be why? https://www.thestreet.com/story/140...eed-memory-represents-a-huge-opportunity.html

From July onward the Intel Skylake processors will not support Windows 7 and 8, which means users will need to update to the latest operating system in order to receive further updates.
However, Microsoft did not reveal how much it would charge users of Windows 7 and 8.1 devices after the free Windows update period gets over. But users can use Windows 7 and 8.1 product keys for Windows 10 installation.
