Hello, I’m checking if there are any upcoming CPUs that support advanced system features and run Windows 7. I won’t be using the machine for gaming; it will only be for work tasks. I prefer Windows 7 over Windows 10 because of its simplicity and privacy. I don’t mind updating, but I’m okay with not installing anything extra—just using MS Office apps, a few YouTube videos, and browsing. I don’t need any additional software or downloads. I’m okay if future systems can’t update Windows 7, as long as official support for Windows 7 ends around 2020 and I can still install it smoothly for my work.
It's true officially, though it's hard to resist pushing others forward.
I don't need any official help. I'm comfortable with simple things. I've noticed what official support actually does, lol. They messed up by winning 10 more games with updates.
Using Skylake required setting up a unique installation media with various drivers. A similar solution is expected soon for the 8XXX and 9XXX chips, provided existing drivers remain unsuitable.
Yes, the option to win 10 can be triggered and utilized offline.
Connect your existing setup to the new machine and start it up. Install any missing drivers using a PS/2 mouse or keyboard, but place the drivers on your hard drive first—without them you won’t have internet access. If you encounter BSOD, try the Paragon Adaptive Restore 2010 bootable USB for automatic hardware adaptation. The process needs some technical skill and compatible hardware, but it’s achievable. If you don’t have PS2 peripherals, you can use a previously installed PCI-E USB controller.
Skylake is now officially compatible with Windows 7. Microsoft revised their policy in 2016: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsof...or-windows. A useful resource for building a Windows 7 USB 3 installer is the MSI Smart Tool, which can install all necessary drivers for USB and NVMe.
