Is Microsoft going to have to make any changes to Windows 7 and/or Windows Update to accommodate these boards running Windows 7?

but there are a number of catches. as in as before maynot be ''fully'' supported you could use 7 before but with its features may not fully work or if at all

but from this maybe intel seen the light on sticking to 10 only crap and seen money lost from guys that don't want 10 and not jumping on a upgrading band wagon ?
''Microsoft limited support for the latest CPUs on Windows 7 back in 2016, which is why AMD’s Ryzen as well as Intel’s Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, and some other chips cannot work with this OS. ''

''In a bid to satisfy demand from such users, it would appear that Intel is prepping a special version of its H310 PCH that will enable operation of its latest Coffee Lake processors on Windows 7''
