btw, running this Setup.exe does not work for me on Lenovo Ideapad 330S-15IKB (kaby lake i5). See the attached image with error message.Installing the driver manually seems to have worked, at the end I see a message that the driver has been successfully updated.But then after restarting the Control Panel Device Manager still shows only "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" under the Display adapters section.There is nothing showing Intel 620 device that I can see.
This article tells you how to add USB 3.0 and intel RST drivers to Windows 7 installation disc, and install Windows 7 on Intel Skylake and Kabylake (6th&7th generation) based laptop and desktop computer with USB drive.
Kaby Lake Win7 8.1

Previously, Microsoft said that they will end support for Skylake-based processors on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 before the OS's extended support date. Later processors, like Intel's Kaby Lake and AMD's Bristol Ridge, will not be supported on 7 and 8.1 at all. To use those processors, their associated devices will need to be running Windows 10 (or, you know, Linux or something).
This has just changed for Skylake, but not for Kaby Lake and Bristol Ridge. Skylake will now be supported through the entire life-cycle of Windows 7 (January 14, 2020) and Windows 8.1 (January 10, 2023). This is particularly good because Skylake was already released and in the hands of users when they first announced pulling the plug. Now users will know before they purchase their hardware (albeit not before many have purchased a retail copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.x with transfer rights that intend to continually upgrade beyond Skylake or to AMD's Zen architecture) that Microsoft will not support it outside of Windows 10.
Also Retail copies are losing patching in 2018 on Skylake CPUs. If you have an OEM from a OEM builder listed on MS's page you are good till 2020. They reversed this at first support was going to end in July this year for all but the OEMs listed, and 2018 for all the listed OEMs.
One example of Microsoft holding back support is the xHCI USB controller in sixth-generation Skylake and seventh-generation Kaby Lake: Windows 7 doesn't support that USB hardware, so installing the operating system from a USB stick using those chips is tricky. Intel provides xHCI drivers for Windows 7 once it's up and running.
This is critical for users in this particular situation, since security fixes for the platforms are tied to Windows updates. Features specific to Ryzen, Skylake, and Kaby Lake--such as power management--are said to be difficult to support on the older platforms. Windows 7 also requires hotfixes for NVMe and USB 3.0 support, both of which are common in modern systems.
Back in January 2016, Microsoft announced that both the Windows 7 and 8.1 platforms will cease to support Intel 6th generation Skylake CPUs in July 2017. However, Skylake-based systems from 16 different vendors will continue to receive support on the older operating systems.
When Microsoft initially announced the restrictions, they were also intended to impact some PCs that use 6th-generation Intel processors ("Skylake"), which went on sale in late 2015. The company backed off slightly on that plan, releasing a list of Skylake-based systems that will be fully supported. (Microsoft's official list of Skylake systems supported on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 was last updated in August 2016, shortly before the Kaby Lake launch.)
Skylake-based systems on the supported list will receive updates through the official end of Microsoft's extended support phase for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 (Jan. 14, 2020, and Jan. 10, 2023, respectively). Systems that aren't on the supported list will lose access to updates for older Windows versions as of July 17, 2018.
Even the relative handful of PC owners who built Skylake or Kaby Lake-based systems from scratch and installed Windows 7 or 8.1 should still be able to take advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10.
In August 2017, Intel announced Kaby Lake Refresh (Kaby Lake R) marketed as the 8th generation mobile CPUs, breaking the long cycle where architectures matched the corresponding generations of CPUs.[12][13] Skylake was anticipated to be succeeded by the 10 nanometer Cannon Lake, but it was announced in July 2015 that Cannon Lake had been delayed until the second half of 2017.[needs update][14][15] In the meantime, Intel released a fourth 14 nm generation on October 5, 2017, named Coffee Lake.
As with previous Intel processors (such as the 8088, Banias, Dothan, Conroe, Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, and Skylake), Kaby Lake's development was led by Intel's Israeli team, based in Haifa.[24] Intel Israel Development Centers manager Ran Senderovitz said: "When we started out on the project, we were only thinking about basic improvements from the previous generation. But we began looking at things differently with a lot of innovation and determination and we achieved major improvements." He added that the performance of the seventh generation chips was improved by 12% for applications and 19% for Internet use compared with the sixth generation chips.[25] Third-party benchmarks do not confirm these percentages as far as gaming is concerned.[26]
Built on an improved 14 nm process (14FF+), Kaby Lake features faster CPU clock speeds, clock speed changes, and higher Turbo frequencies. Beyond these process and clock speed changes, little of the CPU architecture has changed from Skylake,[27] resulting in identical IPC (Instructions Per Clock).[7] 2ff7e9595c
