ACPI Driver Not Available for Kabylake Devices Running Windows 7 32-bit

Important Notice for Lenovo Users

Limited Compatibility with Windows 7

Attention to all Lenovo users with Kabylake platform devices! Intel has announced that Windows 7 is only supported on Skylake processors. This means that the ACPI Driver, essential for power management on Windows systems, is unavailable for Kabylake devices running Windows 7 32-bit. However, a 64-bit Windows 7 hotfix is available for installation after switching to a 64-bit operating system.

To ensure compatibility, users with Kabylake devices are advised to upgrade to a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or consider alternative operating systems. Upgrading to Windows 10, which is fully supported on Kabylake platforms, is highly recommended.

For detailed instructions on obtaining the ACPI driver for Windows 7 64-bit on ThinkCentre M810z devices, refer to the Lenovo Support website and enter your device's model number in the search bar.
