The description does not state this is a windows 10 box only. It will not run a stock win 7. As Intel or Microsoft decided not to change USB and not support NVME. Microsoft provides tools to slipstream Win 7 USB and NVME drivers. Then it will recognize the win 7 ISO and m.2 SSD. I also loaded Linux Debian 9 and Mint 18.2. Both worked great. It obviously works with win 10. But you do have to download a lot of drivers from the Intel site if you want them. It seems a bit overpriced and the only read advantage is it is small.
