Is anyone running Windows 7 with an EVGA Z370 motherboard?
 
If so, any issues?

    There will possibly be driver issues with other software / hardware with W7 on this platform. Depends on what utilities etc you use. I have a Z270 board and eventually gave up on W7 and reluctantly went W10 because of driver conflicts. Z97 platform I know is ok with W7.

    Officially Microsoft doesn't support this by the way. It should work but if there is a bug Microsoft won't fix it.

    Took me the better part of a day, but I eventually got my existing Windows 7 installation completely working and stable.  Had to hunt down USB3.0 drivers from Intel and then custom chipset INF packs from winraid.  The only remaining issue seems to be that some monitoring utilities (CPUz and HWMonitor and OCCT) take longer than usual to start up.

    I had to upgrade to Windows 10 from 7. Only issue was that PUBG thought I was now cheating and I got a developer ban :(

    Thanks everyone. I'm gonna bite the bullet and finally upgrade my main PC to Win 10.
     
    Have been using on a PC I have in the garage since introduction but haven't liked it overall. But, I haven't given it much of a chance and now I have no choice but to upgrade it appears.
