Actually I am using Windows 7 on an I7 gaming board without issue. I had the same problem on a few computers I bought later, one was an HP which claimed to be be a computer but when I opened it up to add a disk disk drive the morons at HP had so under powered it that not only was there no place to add a drive but the power supply only had one drive power port. I ripped that sucker apart and modified everything so I could add what I wanted. It was so bad though I tossed the whole ting in the junk within 3 months of buying it. HP and other companies are good for trying to build their computers so you cant modify them and appear to have something going with Micro s^&T to try and fore you to use Windows 10 by adding software and hardware that wont run windows 7. Best bet if you can when you are going to get a new computer is build it yourself and dont by anything from HP or others like them unless you are just going to do home computing and nothing else, then it really doesnt matter unless you really want windows 7 which I do. There is a way around it, you have to google that problem because I dont remember what you can do but the other alternative is down load a copy of Linux Mint or other version of Linux and use that as much as possible. I have an external removable bay so when I want to do serious computing or anything that requires good security I put in my linux drive, and if I want to screw around with gaming I take it out and put in my Windows 7 drive. I am pretty much at a point where is I had to use Microsoft for serious computing I'd toss every piece of computing equipment I have because they are to easily hacked if you set security so you can use it and if you dont you are constantly answering stupid questions and sending private information to MicroS&*t that they dont need and have no business asking.
Windows 7 annoying "Unsupported Hardware" pop ups
I, just like most users hate Windows 10 for so many issues and bugs. It has usability issues and so many problems that Windows support team chooses ignore despite multiple complaints. Microsoft knows this very well but they keep hush about all this. Now to add to it, Windows 7 (the best OS so far) keeps giving a warning that my Intel Core i7 (7700k) processor is not supported.
I'm sorry but Windows 10 is officially the **** and buggiest product I've ever used. And I'm never going to switch to it until every problem has been fixed. Please do something about these annoying "unsupported processor" pop ups. If this is not resolved soon I'm going to write an entire blog about this and I'm sure there are many users who feel the same. Now this is not a small issue and I suggest to take this at the highest priority.
Every user should be allowed to use whatever version of Windows that suits their needs and is comfortable to use.

2018-12-31T02:07:08+00:00 I'm 66 and have been using windows since 1985: w3.1. I really don't want the brain damage switching to Linux, but M$ is doing all it can to push us to Linux. The only problem I have is that my TurboCad won't run on it. Now I have to learn a whole new cad software as well as an operating system. I really don't have time for this.
