Downgrade to Win7

[DPurpz1]

Ok so i've been experiencing a lot of problems with windows 10, my PC is freezing up about every 2 days, i've done a clean install of the operating system but still not changed it, there are problems also when i try to wake it from sleep mode as well as many games running slower than they should so my question is: will skylake processors still support windows 7 or does hardware not have any impact on which version of windows you can use?

Hello DPurpz1

Although it does matter which version of Windows you are installing on what kind of hardware, Windows 7 not being obsolete yet, can be installed on Skylake. You can find further details on the topic here.

Here you will find the details and procedure of downgrading Windows 10 to Windows 7.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!!

If you have been on 10 for over a month the Windows 7 license is no longer valid.

that isn't a problem. That is just how win 7 works on modern motherboards.
