The processors in question are fully backwards compatible and have all the capabilities of the older processors. As such they can run Windows 7 and 8.1 in the same way that the old processors can without extra support from Microsoft. Examples of this can be seen in tests on YouTube.
Now, before some fanatics come out to remind me that Microsoft announced that they were not supporting the new CPU's months ago, I'll remind everyone that "no support" is not at all the same thing as actively preventing users who installed Windows 7 or 8.1 on the new CPU's from using the software.
It seems that this is the latest of Microsofts tactics intended to force people to Windows 10.
