My m3 compute stick has been freezing since the latest Windows 10 updates and I'm fed up with this botched up Windows 10 os.

​

I tried installing Windows 7 with a modified version with usb 3 drivers and other additions. Installation boots up from a usb drive and installation finishes BUT then gives me a blue screen error when booting indicating that the bios is not acpi compliant.

​

I've also noticed that drivers are available for Windows 7... Graphics, audio, chipset aNd usb 3.

​

Is it possible or am I doing something incorrectly?​

It's a 6th gen processor, so, in theory, ​not precluded from running Windows 7. The NUC team is only providing drivers for Windows 8.1 and 10, however.
