Would like to ask the admins on this form is it possible that we can pin a guide possibley in some sort of windows 7 section for installing the os on 7th and 8th gen cpus, as alot of people including me have been a hard as hell time finding a way to do it. Would help alot of people also so they wouldnt be making new disscissions on why the orbs are freezing on them.
Would also like to thank the forms for getting me on the right track to the right forms (:

    For Intel's 7th and 8th generation processors, the only Windows operating system that Intel supports is Windows 10 x64. There is no official driver for Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1.
    But according to some sources the Windows 7's Driver for the 6th gen processors can be installed for the 7th gen processors. The graphics processors on not only Intel 6th gen mobile, but also all 7th and 8th gen processors are all based on Gen 9 LP (generation 9 Low Power) graphics core architecture.
    Also, you can enable Legacy Boot ROMs still but not on Intel 7th and 8th generation as they will only boot from UEFI. If you intend to use Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 in the foreseeable future, you should know that Microsoft plans to make it harder for you. If you’ve got a current generation Intel Skylake processor, Microsoft is going to stop issuing security updates for these older supported versions of Windows.
    Furthermore, Microsoft is refusing to support anything less than Windows 10 on Intel’s upcoming Kaby Lake processors.

    First 8th and 7th may not have an offical driver, you can use an modified uhd as stated above driverhttps://forum.videohelp.com/threads/390651-Way-to-make-Intel-UHD-620-graphics-driver-to-works-in-windows-7-(no-crash)
    You can install windows 7 on uefi not using legacy based roms, you first need to install the os using windows 10 mini, dism, and get rid of vga.sys.
