Thx for answeringIt's an Intel HM175 chipset apparently. The motherboard will be specific to the chassis and by Clevo.
Compared to the similar named Intel HD Graphics 620 in the 2016 Kaby Lake CPUs, only the name changed from HD to UHD. It is clocked with up to 1.150 MHz and therefore 100 MHz higher than the old HD Graphics 620 (max. 1.050 MHz) and offer a comparable performance

UHD is Intel renaming HD to get the word Ultra in there since everything is now about 4k, right?
PCS's configuration description has caused a little confusion with the name before (see: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...traNote-Series&p=423719&viewfull=1#post423719 )
But even if PCS missed a letter off, it's still a very similar thing (HD/UHD) and obviously you have UHD 620 because that's just what that CPU has integrated onto it:
I've no idea why Intel don't list it as a compatible part.
The 8000 ULV CPUs were Kaby Lake Refresh, not coffee lake, so they didn't have the new and 'essential' 300 series chipsets launched with them.
And Intel's HM370 chipset launched in mid 2018 with the 6-core H series CPUs.
I don't know 100% it's that chipset, it's just what other vendors of that clevo chassis listed on their site and it's either that or HM170, but I'd have assumed HM175 as that came out when Kaby Lake R did and that's what most people list the chass as having
I did they say it is cpu dependent. But this is on my order page so I think that is a bit ridiculous. It should be accurate there.The service manuals do list the chipsets (obvs) but sadly they're not as easily googleable as they used to be.
You should flag up with PCS the configurator listing on the onboard graphics as people do take issue with it or get confused by it from time to time (as linked above)
Have you already installed Windows 7 or are you getting ready to?
And why Windows 7?
It is absolutely the "right play" for me & I am well aware of all the things you have mentioned.The hardware isn't meant to run Windows 7 so finding appropriate drivers will be hard or not possible.
If you're set on Win 7, your best bet will probably be to install Windows 7 and let is try to find the right drivers.
Alternatively you can put Linux on the laptop. Or just adjust Windows 10's settings such that you control the features you're not happy with.
Putting an old OS that might lack appropriate drivers and that will stop getting security updates in 1 year is probably not the right play.
Apart from the bit about letting Windows 7 find the drivers. Because you seemed intent on downloading all kinds of random things from the net meant for other systems and installing them
