It will if you update the BIOS to a version that supports Kaby Lake.

If you don't already own the B150 get a B250 so it works out of the box.

It should. Do a BIOS update with your current CPU BEFORE installing the i7. Here is the compatibility list from the vendor website -- https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B150-PC-MATE.html#support-cpu
You need the "CA" version of the BIOS. The "CB" version is the latest listed.

so when i have installed the CA shouldnt i install the CB after also how would i download it since i have to do it without the cpu in ?

You can directly update to CB. You don't have to install CA then CB.

I may have misinterpreted your original post. I read it as though you had a functioning system with a B150 motherboard. That is why I mentioned a BIOS update "WITH YOUR CURRENT CPU" in my original post. If you don't have a functioning system prior to the 7700K you may not be able to do a BIOS update.

Follow the steps in the user's manual. That is the best method. It will be specific for your motherboard. Videos are usually generic.
