I am typing this on my phone so please excuse the errors.

I just got the Taichi MOBO and I'm downloading all the drivers like lan, bluetooth, etc and all say the os is for Win10

Will this board even work with windows 8.1? will the windows 10 drivers work on my Win8.1 machine?

I know I wont get all of the features but will it run?

It can be made to run, but it is a hassle to get the right drivers. Others have put Win 7 on the newer boards. The board is not backward compatible and was built for Win 10.
