Does that mean after upgradation to win 8.1 , old h/w becomes unsupported....?

No it means no updates or ur Os would be blacklisted by windows

 

[DashMajor]

No it means no updates or ur Os would be blacklisted by windows

Means we have to update our OS otherwise it will be blacklisted and we never get any assistance from Windows ?

 

[NinadG]

No it means no updates or ur Os would be blacklisted by windows

That means Microsoft may be maintaining a repository of all illegal OS installtions & tracking it.....
