Trying to install Win7 on a Kaby Lake processor
What can you suggest for someone trying to install Win7 on a Kaby Lake processor, which claims that it only supports Win10? Any attempt to install Win7 (either UEFI or Legacy way) results in a crash/BSOD upon first boot from the harddrive ("Starting Windows") - therefore the instalation even does not complete? It has no optical drive so I am intalling from a USB. The laptop has been tested with (reinstalled) Endless OS (it came preinstalled with it, but was subsequently deleted) and with Ubuntu - both instalations completed successfully and the laptop booted with those OSes without issue. The laptop in question is an Asus GL553VD with i5-7300HQ.
