Skylake requires Windows 8 or 10, it is not supported on Windows 7 at all.

>>57894799
Not true, Skylake has W7 support until 2018

actually this is false if you have an OEM license they will not allow you to download it from their servers.

Only gamers that use Windows 10. There is literally no benefit for any other group.

Gamers DX12. Grandmas and idiots benefit from the OS managing itself.

It's power users that have no use for W10.

Being able to install Windows 7 is important because it's the easiest way to get a legitimate Windows 10 license.

> Install Windows 7
> Activate it with DazLoader
> Install Windows 10 for free using the "assistive technology" loophole
> Have a legitimate activated copy of Windows 10 without having to use loaders or hacks

It means Winfags are going to have to actually start paying for Windows 10 now instead of just getting it for free.

Gamers use W10 you stupid fag, do you not know what DirectX is?

That's what you get for choosing non-free software.

Install GNU+Linux and run Windows in a virtual machine.

>although you can't install efi via dvd, so i guess you're stuck with 2tb and 4 partitions
It's perfectly possible to use GPT partitions with MBR boot loaders, at least on GNU+Linux.
Doesn't Windows support this?

>>57895023

I don't think they even know.

Windows 7 activation security is so flimsy that cracked versions pass the online genuine Windows checks on Microsoft's website.

In all seriousness though. You might actually need the driver CD to get a working Win7 build on Skylake with supported motherboards. USBs don't work out of the box, neither does the ethernet. So how will you transfer the drivers?

Building my new PC today and I'm in the same boat. I need to use some software that isn't available on Linux so I am dual booting. Reading my mobo instructions and it tells me that I need to edit the windows ISO so I can plug my mouse and keyboard into USB slots. shits fucking dumb.

>>57894161
Just add the damn usb drivers to your usb stick and it will work.

it's not impossible, it's just very tough
I did it. it took like 2 days of on and off tinkering to figure it out
I had to update my bios, and when in the windows setup pick the driver manually from the disc that came with mobo for usb3.0

Windows 7 isn't as good as most people here thiink it is.

I'm in IT and install win 7 on computers old and new everday and also diagnose problems with it.

I also used to follow this "win 7 is bettr" meme to code on it in V-studio.

It's nothing amazing, I rather use win10 and above all, Linux, to program rather than use 7.

It can be very buggy, even with the sp

Intel intentionally did that and MS colluded with them by not supports XHCI on Win7 SP1

>lack of native l egacy support for mobos
Please elaborate. What exactly is missing the "legacy support" for what exactly?

Time to install GNU/Linux, OP. Make sure you get a CPU that supports VT-d. I recommend using Arch-anywhere. Great installer for Arch.

You may also need two GPUs, unless you're fine doing all your gaming in the Windows VM and can deal with Intel graphics on GNU/Linux.

So it's the "hurr cannot install XP because missing AHCI drivers" from 8 years ago all over again, except now the problem is with USB while installing 7?

>>57896827
You should apply for anger management, kid.

Most employers don't like to hire angry virgin autists in IT.

>>57896830
I know that my mobo, and apparently most others, didn't have native support for USB 2.0 for installing things from.

>>57896877
Most employers prefer to pay Pajeets pennies for monkey work like IT nowadays

>>57896903
Then you better get packing to India, tell me how it is in your blog.

>>57896884
Why would that be missing?

Besides, the issue sure is a minor one. If XP can be installed from USB even though it never supported this in the first place, then this problem surely has a fix too.

On the other hand, you can try set up a TFTP server with WindowsPE 3.1 and PXE boot from it, then start the installer itself from the USB stick.

>how does a CPU support something up until some date?
One thing is that it supports it and other is that it is compatible with it.

Pentium 4 is not supported anymore but you still can run windows 7 or 8.1 on them.
