Simple Questions - September 10, 2015

Right! Well, I tried to install it via the optical drive, but it gave me the old "drivers not detected" (or missing, same thing, really). I was just planning to install it with a USB boot instead, but then I read on another thread that Windows 7 Premium Edition isn't compatible with Skylake!

I was told that it would be, of course, and the only reason I can think it wouldn't be is that they want people to use Windows 10.

Do you know if it's true or if I can just boot from USB and it should work? Full setup is, for reference...
