You're very welcome.

 

I have read some articles that no W7 support will be provided by Intel for the 7th generation core processors.

 

W10 only.

HP also has a notice stating they will only support these platforms for W10 but I can't find it right now.

Ohhh, I googled your reply :

 

WINDOWS Why Windows 7 Won’t Work On Intel’s Current & Next Gen CPUs

 

Microsoft made 'em do it: The latest Kaby Lake, Zen chips will support only Windows 10

 

Do you need to buy a laptop?  🙂 🙂 🙂

 

Many thanks.

I wish I could.  :generic:

 

Unless you have to run W7 in order to run some programs that won't work on W10, you'll have to live with W10 on that platform.

 

I just gave the latest USB3 drivers to another forum member with a similar notebook with that processor, and they didn't work either.

 

So, what I know now from you two folks is:

 

No working graphics driver and no working USB3 drivers.

 

That's too bad because you can get the wireless, audio, ethernet, and card reader drivers to work.

No, I can install USB 3 during installtion Windows 7 , 

 

During insalltion win7 , did not press "install now" , I press " repair my PC " , new windows appear > Press add driver 

 

I saved USB 3 in extrnal USB before.

 

Browse to that extrnal USB, and add USB 3 driver in a secound.

 

=========================================

 

I install all driver in windows 7 ( wireless, audio, ethernet, and card reader drivers ...), only Ghraphic drivers  fail

That's interesting. 

 

I wonder how the other guy was able to get W7 installed without installing the USB3 driver during the installation?

 

Here is the discussion and the driver I provided...

What drivers you haven't got? If you haven't got graphics or usb drivers only you can patch them.
