Meltdown, spectre and old motherboard and CPU.
I am running FCU Win 10 Pro on a MSI P35 Neo F v1 motherboard with Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU. I have ran the MS controlsettings script which informs me I am protected from Spectre by Windows Update but not Meltdown without a BIOS/Microcode update.
As this is a 2008 motherboard I very much doubt a BIOS update will be forthcoming from MSI and the windows patch is not enabled due to hardware firmware update required. Is this the end for my machine which quite happily runs Windows 10 Pro and all my loaded programs or is there a known workaround to enable the windows meltdown patch without BIOS update?
