You request seems like a thinly veiled rant against Gigabyte.
Also your basic premise seems to be flawed (that because the hardware can support Windows 10, that if Gigabyte doesn't make work, Gigabyte is cheating you, no matter how old the motherboard is.)
GIGABYTE motherboards are the ideal platform for Windows 10 on the desktop. Windows 10 is the most innovative operating system yet from Microsoft ®. It has dozens of new, exciting features to improve productivity and gaming, including full support for DirectX™ 12. Dec 09, 2018 I have a GIGABYTE ga-ma790gp-ds4he motherbaord running on Windows 7. I want to have it run on BOTH Windows 7 AND Windows 10. What GIGABYTE motherboard is recommended (best) to 'DUAL BOOT' and run both operating systems?
Feb 22, 2017 To find the latest driver, including Windows 10 drivers, choose from our list of most popular Gigabyte Technology USB downloads or search our driver archive for the driver that fits your specific USB model and your PC’s operating system. If you cannot find the right driver for your device, you can request the driver. We will find it for you. Dec 09, 2018 In the drivers download page of my motherboard (AX370-Gaming 5) appear a new type of OS, Windows 10 64bits (DCH). I understand is a an Universal Driver for Windows 10. But the question is, if is prefer to use this or the normal driver.
Microsoft can state that XXX is the minimum requirements to run Windows 10.
But it is the minimum, not a guarantee that Windows 10 will work on that machine, or if it will run into problems or not. In a nutshell the hardware is only part of the picture, and the BIOS, and drivers and such are the rest.
If I have a 15 year old motherboard it might have all the specs needed to run Windows 10. But something that old you are not going to get new drivers. It just not economical for any manufacture to update drivers for something that old. Now it is very possible that the old drivers might work just fine in Windows 10. Good you are lucky (and in fact most will be lucky).
So we come to 'force obsolescence', to you that seems to mean that if it is possible, Gigabyte should make it work for you. Well from a manufacture's point of view you paid for product/service for a certain period of time that they have calculated into price you paid for your motherboard vs how much it costs to make and support such. I have actually no idea of how many years that Gigabyte will update drivers for their motherboard, but I do know it is not infinite. And most likely if they are going to test and fix drivers, they will start with their newest motherboards and as time goes on work backwards test/fixing older ones.
I notice that you request the spec's from other people's machines, but didn't do the same for yours.
And in the way you stated the question you neither want people to try to help you with your problem, or to use the information to buy a configuration that works.
For what its worth the machine I'm typing does have a Gigabyte motherboard in it, that frankly I really like. In fact I like it better than a similar Asus motherboard I have in another machines. Both machines upgraded with no real problems. I think there was a license problem on one of the AMD tools I don't use, and later I even found an update for it. I did do clean installs of both of them, but that was mostly because of the fact on one of them I had the classic upgrade problem. As in there a ton of settings that have to be transferred perfectly from one operating system to another, and doing so is extremely hard to do without any problems. Microsoft has got a lot better at it, but still problems can creep in, and they did on one machine. And I decided a clean install was the better approach then try to weed out these settings/install kind of problems one at a time.
