Notes
Windows 10 runs on this processor, but Microsoft's Windows 11 supported-processor lists start with 8th Gen Intel Core, so 24H2, 25H2 and 26H2 are unsupported. Kaby Lake implements SSE4.2 and AVX2 and meets the x86-64-v3 baseline that current Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch builds assume, and machines of this era are supported by ChromeOS Flex.
