You can simulate this with filters. Assuming the order of the newsgroups 
that you read are alt.windows7.general first, then alt.windows10.general 
next, you can add a filter on the newsgroups header in the windows10 
group and mark as read anything that was posted to the windows7 group - 
newsgroups contains alt.windows7.general. It works even when out of 
order, but it makes the most sense if you create the filters to consider 
the order in which you read the groups.
