My Win 7 computer also died(may it rest in pieces) and I had an Intel processor I had bought and never used. Found out it was not compatible with any old OS before Win 10 and was pissed to say the least. Figured out how to make it work and so far not too many problems. Most of my software won't work with 8 and above so I had to have a working Win 7 machine. Saves me the trouble of having to rewrite everything right away. Linux is getting more tempting but too lazy to just sit down and change everything in the near term.
