January 12, 20179 yr Hello, there was a little bit of discussion on this in the Kaby Lake 5ghz thread, but I thought I'd start a new thread for anyone using Kaby Lake processors with windows 7 to post their experiences as they get settled in with their new processor. Are there issues or was the talk about Kaby Lake only working on windows 10 a bit overblown? I'm looking at a CPU upgrade but don't want to do the windows 10 upgrade, so would probably go with the 6700k unless it's pretty clear that Kaby Lake does indeed work fine with windows 7.

January 12, 20179 yr I completely overlooked this issue. I was planning on keeping Win7 (I just don't like 10 I've used it many times at work). But I was planning 7700K. I do have a DVD rw that I would reinstall Win7 from and I think I still have a PS/2 kb. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

Download and install the latest rollups , then no problems with win uppdates http://
January 12, 20179 yr How about drivers for the motherboard? The web sites I have visited for a new laptop don't list any for Kaby / Win 10. Are you saying that the Win updates will carry the driver solution even on the latest motherboards? Gordon

Are you saying that the Win updates will carry the driver solution even on the latest motherboards? Gordon Just did a reinstall of Win 10 with a 6700K and let Win 10 handle all driver installs automatically. No ? or x in Device Manager and everything seems to be running great. gb. YSSY.
