    So today I finally upgraded from my I7 3770 to an I7 11700K (I know finally), and I put the computer together well and BIOS loads fine, but I have one small issue. I still like running windows 7 over 10 because of the layout and simplicity in the menus, but now that I go to an 11th gen intel...
