hey everyone,

I setup my computer today and i got a i5 7600K and as i booted the PC it said that the CPU wasn't compatible with win7 and i had to upgrade to 10.
Even with the ethernet cable plugged in i dont get access to internet, so i put the win10 launcher on a USB stick but as i try to launch it it says ''error 0x80072ee7 and 0x80000''
what would you guys advice?
thanks in advance.

it's not hard to install windows 7 on a kaby lake system. it's compatible by its very design as an x86 cpu... unless it's missing win7 specific instructions, which it's not, it's lying by by saying otherwise.

It's just a scare tactic to try to get people to upgrade to windows 10. When you think about the fact that kaby lake works with gnu/linux and mac does it really make sense that it would exclude 7?

Seen a lot of people running windows 7 with kaby lake chips so it's probably just a matter of getting around the message.

win10 launcher?

the image?

I think it was just loss of features drivers and other ms support being 7 is on extended support for security updates only?
I"m not sure but seems like ms amd and intel are doing this win10 push

any specific examples of some driver or feature that used to work that doesn't now due to the windows 10 hell push?
