Windows 7 operating system, despite the fact that the left in the already distant 2009, still is very popular among users. However, Microsoft is actively promoting the Windows system 10, which has a negative effect on conservative users .
As is known, Intel company does not provide official drivers for integrated graphics cards (IGP) processor families Kaby Lake and Apollo Lake for the operating system Windows 7. However, as reported by our German colleagues from Heise , some motherboard manufacturers provide graphics driver KBL (Kaby Lake ) for Windows 7, which has a version number 21.20.16.4508. The driver comes from August of last year, and some manufacturers have designated as a beta version.
It is reported that the above driver is easily installed in a system based on the motherboard Asus Prime Z270-A and the processor Intel Core i3-7100, working under the operating system Windows 7. The integrated graphics processor Intel HD Graphics 630 could through the DisplayPort port to output 4K-image 60 Hz, and provide audio playback via HDMI and DP. It was possible to run and synthetic test 3DMark 11, which also showed support for DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.4.
However, the graphics driver has identified an operating system like Windows Server 2008 R2, and not as Windows 7. It seems that this driver is designed for operation of the integrated graphics processor in the server generation Kaby Lake.
After the installation of all available under Windows 7 drivers for the motherboard Prime Z270-A in Asus website, in the Device Manager display all system components. For example, Asus provides a driver for Windows 7 for the new controller ASMedia ASM2142 USB 3.1. However, there are restrictions, for example, when installing in M.2 SSD interface NVMe, the system showed blue screen of death. Related Products :
