&gt;You purchased a 5 year old Vista machine in 2012?&#x2F;&#x2F;<p>New motherboards with the geforce7025&#x2F;nforce630a chipset are currently on sale even now.

None of that is pertinent really.<p>&gt;&gt; [pbhjpbhj] What do you call false statements made to increase sales if not fraud?<p>&gt; [Someone1234] Microsoft made none<p>The upgrade now nag screen said the machine was &quot;unable to run&quot; Windows 10. That is categorically false.<p>The presence of the &#x27;but never mind you can buy a new computer from us with this link&#x27; on the nag screen suggests a motive which I&#x27;m inclined to agree with.<p>If they don&#x27;t know whether a particular hardware arrangement works or not then they shouldn&#x27;t state twice that it doesn&#x27;t, they should say &quot;your hardware may not work&quot; or &quot;your hardware is unsupported&quot; or &quot;we don&#x27;t consider your hardware to work well enough&quot; or something else that is actually true.<p>The motive isn&#x27;t a fact but the lie is.
