It's not just Windows that has this issue. I recently had issues trying to add new Intel servers to an existing cluster. The new servers had a CPU that was too new to be supported by the older (CentOS 6 based) Linux OS that the cluster was running. Now, this particular problem was fixed in the kernel and pushed in the next point release by Red Hat. Unfortunately for us, it never made it to the upstream cluster OS vendor, and we weren't able to patch the supported kernel, so we were stuck for those machines.

And Kaby Lake is just a rebranded Skylake with higher clocks, with no hardware differences. So this is just Microsoft fucking over users.
