Kaby Lake on Win7? (No drivers)

[AngryAboutDrivers]

I was told that Kaby Lake only supports Windows 10. I was told this a bit too late.
The reason I'm here is because I do not want to use Windows 10, I want to use Windows 7.
I'm currently using the Intel Pentium G4620 CPU.

I have a fresh install of Windows 7 on my computer.
I do not have any drivers. I cannot connect to the internet, and my computer does not recognize my USB stick (either through the USB 3.0 ports or the USB 2.0 ports).
I do not have a CD-Rom drive that I can use.

Is there any way to get Windows 7 to be functional on this computer, or do I *have* to use Windows 10?
I am willing to buy a CD drive just to install the drivers, if necessary. However, I would like to know in advance if the drivers can actually be installed through the CD drive.

My CPU did not come with a Drivers disc, but my Motherboard did.

For the most part, I just want to know how I can update my network drivers so I can connect to the internet. From that point I should be able to figure everything else out for myself.

Thanks, everyone.

which motherboard are you using?

do you have another PC? easiest way to copy drivers over - if they exist - is to put hdd into another PC as a 2nd drive, download the drivers you need, and then copy them onto new hdd (Not install), move hdd back into new PC and install drivers

I had the same problem with an i3 Kaby Lake and Z270 Krait Gaming mobo... Win7 would not even install because the required drivers were missing... It would get to the point where setup was about to start.. then an error would come up saying it was missing required drivers.. I wound up installing windows 10.. then re-booted to my win7 CD.. The setup was then able to load to the format page where you can clear the partitions and do a fresh install... then just install the mobo drivers from the manufacturer once I had 7 up and running.. Worked like a charm! Seems like as long as the drivers are present on the hard drive to begin with.. you should be able to do a fresh install with win7 media.. thank goodness.. I thought I was stuck with 10.. and not happy about it.... lol
