Hi, I wanted to see if my motherboard is able to run windows 7 and if it is safe. My rig is
Asrock Extreme4 X299
Gigabyte 8gb rx480
i5-7640x
evga supernova gold g2 550
1tb hdd
tforce 8gb ram

I want to see if I can run windows 7 because I hate windows 10 and I want to wipe my computer and install windows 7. will it be safe?

6th gen Intel supports windows 7. 7th gen onwards only supports windows 10.

So the answer to your question is unfortunately no.

Use a VM if you can I have a fully functional windows 7 VM because like you I hate windows 10.

Or you can download classics shell to customize windows 10.

You can run a patch which allows Windows 7 to update as normal.
