Installing Windows on Unsupported Motherboards
Posted: Thu Mar 21, 2024 11:20 am
Hi All
Has anyone ever installed a later Windows OS than what is supported by the motherboard? If so how did it go and was performance impacted by not having MB vendor drivers installed?
I have an Asus P6X58D-E with Intel i7 980X and I'm currently running Windows 7 which is obviously pretty old now. I'm starting to run into issues with software that I use not being able to update as those vendors no longer support Win 7 (Ableton, Elektron Overbridge, Steam to name a few).
I'm asking more in hope than anything as I expect it isnt possible or if the installation succeeds it will result in performance issues with Scope.
I would love to get a new PC but I have 3 x A16us connected to 2 x Scope Pro PCI boards and as we all know MBs with PCI are increasingly rare.
Would appreciate hearing about anyones experience!
Thanks
