    From a business point of view it is much less "work" if finally only one windows edition has to be maintained, leaving the rest of the arguments in the middle.

    Yes, you can. I've used DISM and Komm's KUC for Win7 on two separate occasion both live/offline integration on kabylake 7700K cpu w/ 270X chipset motherboard.

    I have a Kaby Lake system which I run server 2008 and server 2012 on. Plus, VM systems with windows 7 and windows 8.1. Anyone know if this policy will affect them ? Guess I may have to resort to manual updates or constantly building updated images.

    All future Monthly Rollups will have that restriction as KB4012218 have

    yes, i believe WU will work without them

    manual installation (dism, not msu), will likely work too

    what about office updates?
    i guess, if you use a system where windows update has been crippled by this new restriction, you will also not get any office updates?

    Yes, apparently whole WU is blocked, not just windows updates

    What about the case of "mixed" generations - eg 270 chipset but Skylake cpu? Would M$ consider that 6th gen or 7th gen? Example: ASUS Z270M-Plus supports Windows 7 if a Skylake cpu (6th gen) is used and provides drivers. Any ideas, anyone tried same?

    It will be base on process not chipset so if you have 6th gen processor on that 270 it will not be effect.

    That then offers a way to bypass the update restriction - replace the cpu with any 6th gen cpu even a cheap 'celeron' type - then do all the updates and after that put your 7th gen cpu back?

    That's a lot to go thru just to get a monthly update, There are better suggestions already posted in this thread
