Fingers crossed that microsoft approves 7700k because it's fully compatible as it is as safe as it's successor line Coffee Lake.

    Landlordsplace yes just scroll back through these pages and people explain how to do it… there might be more than one way but they do explain it. I personally don’t recommend it but people here have done it and have reported no issues in having done so. Also, I cannot be responsible for the method but I believe it is correct even though I personally am not responsible in any way for how it works out…
