I don't know where you're getting an i7 CPU from, my PC has an Intel Core 2 Quad in it.
Any way, I shall check out Intel.
Is my motherboard compatible with Windows 10?

Hello, about a year ago, I upgraded to Windows 10 for free but experienced many troubles and the bottom line was that my motherboard isn't compatible with Windows 10.
It has been, about a year now and I'm wondering if things have changed. I don't have any REAL desire to get Windows 10 but for a few mundane reasons, I wish to try it out again.
My motherboard, is an Asus P5KPL-AM . Click here to see it...
I'd very much appreciate it that only people who have evidence tell me that it is compatible or not, rather than just saying or/and assuming it is.

that area..With Win 10,& youre pc mfg (intel),go to intel.com/support/software-driver updates.Either
run the intel-update utility,or download center/chipset software,see if Win 10 updates are available,the
manual search requires knowlege of youre pc hardware-controllers.That is in device mgr,system.
Dont forget,a OS upgrade isnt as effective as a OS clean install done thru DOS..

I see what you are saying but no need to be rude about it.
I was thinking that after about a year went by, then possibly support would come into play.
