    I upgraded this system years ago to windows 10 and after that I lost the ability to change the keybored lights.

    It didn't brother me unto now and I wanted to see if there was a work around other then dual booting windows 7. Even a VM would be better then dual booting. lol

    A VM won't work since it wouldn't be able to talk to the actual hardware controller. You can try to troubleshoot in Windows 10 but it may be easier to just install 7, change the lights, and boot back to 10
