Nice little box....
I built a previous model a while back for a friend, NUC5i7H.
Yes, some gymnastics to get Win7 on the nvme M.2, install Win7 to the internal 2.5".
Then clone 2.5" to nvme, then remove Win7 off 2.5", then fix the boot-loader,
Then finally add Linux Lite & Mint Cinnamon to nvme. (Got a lot of help here on the forum )
Even with that NUC5i7 some things looked odd, but worked..
Like if you look at the nvme disk it shows unmounted, but works, freq looked odd also.
To check the frequency more acurately I installed CPUFReq, in a terminal:
then run
Gives lots of details on each CPU/Core
I read a comparison yesterday on the NUC6i5 vs NUC5i7,
The NUC6i5 in most cases was 20~40% quicker in most benchmarks, and half power consumption
You can add the details to the "Hardware Database"
Instructions on that page, "The Process".
