BUT one thing has me thinking to go back to 10 and that is Win7...

Because it only supports UEFI 2 is my understanding?

Is it possible to disable CSM and boot Win7 x64?

I'm going to take my quote back, maybe it's not time to move on.

I FINALLY figured out how to get Windows 7 installed on my Maximus VIII Hero and it's running great!

Now I've only just...
