The PCIE construct is one to first establish and now exceed, as it
still is, even Windows 7. There are those interests at work, such to
engineer the future computers of tomorrow, without a SATA bus
architecture. And Microsoft policy is not interested in providing
drivers unless people exclusively run their computers on a Windows 10
operating system, an OS that in turn will qualify what is, precisely,
suitable hardware for a purpose of computing;- software, ipso facto,
whether or not written, or donated by developers, at some point prior
to a Windows, not Windows 10, need neither apply to Microsoft's
present assurance of intent nor approval.
