    What do y'all think will be the fate of Windows 7?

    Apparently Microsoft won't be implementing anymore Skylake or Kaby Lake updates for 7 but only Windows 10.

    Someone may find a way around it, but that means it's mostly only for the computer literate.

    Kaby-Lake is already confirmed to be working on Windows 7, the only thing that was not, is the IGP, which requires an older driver. See the "Windows 10" thread in this forum.
