Curious as to what MSI board you are using and how you like it?

Extended support for Windows 7 SP1 ends at the beginning of 2020. What are you going to do in 3 years, 4 months and beyond?

Deal with that then. I plan to use Windows 7 Pro for the next 3 years and 4 months. Maybe longer.

Well after much negotiation with the wife she will continue to use the Win7 machine (current system). So now I will go Skylake/Win 10Pro, so many choices, lol.
