so any skylake will work on windows 7? but i thought Microsoft said they would en support for new chipsets on anything thats not windows 10

Microsoft had to revert back on the Skylake processor (for a short time, though!)...looks next will not allow Windows 7.

Updates to Support Policy for Skylake Devices Running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 – Windows for IT Pros

Hi,
Yes I have an x99 and 7 works perfectly :)
MS did throw this update out that caused some fuss though
After installing Microsoft Update KB3133977 for Windows 7, some users may encounter a "Secure Boot Violation" , which makes the system fail to boot into the operating system.

Okay but Windows 7 will still work with haswell and x99 chipset, right? And will do so forever as long as i have a windows installation disk, correct?
