seems like you can use the old win-7 retail disk and get away with it they removed the retail dvd from stores and replaced them with a new dvd that has the stuff removed that the old dvd had like as they did for the usb install way

then you just install the usb3 drivers as normal just funny business on Microsoft and intels part to help underhandly force you to 10 as they so tried

by the way Linux has great success with skylake as well for a extra back up OS if needed no issues there with it

you just got to look at what your board support has on doing the 7 install
