content: I know that there are no compatible Win7 drivers for Skylake during installation and its pretty shitty situation but it was bound to happen. XP, Vista, and even Win7 OEM installation images don't come bundled with compatible ACPI drivers for a lot of newer hardware which means you need the drivers on hand or you couldn't complete the installation, http://www.asrock.com/microsite/Win7Install/ look its not that bad of a situation, its shitty and bothersome but its not Intel trying to fuck you over and force you to use Win10, Intel emptied your wallet already so they couldn't care less what OS you use. If youre really set on installing Win7 on newer hardware (AMD is very likely to do the same) get yourself a PCI-E usb2.0 or 3.0 expansion card that will work out of the box with Win7.
