Can ubuntu be installed in intel kabylake 7th gen processor?

Based on this, I'd say that that processor is fine for use with Ubuntu. Is yours one of the systems listed?

Apparently there is a bug in the 16.04 kernel that can cause a problem with the Skylake range of processors, but it seems there is a fairly straightforward fix for it:

• Update the kernel to version 4.4.0–18
• Add intel_pstate=disable to your kernel command line

A discussion of this fix can be found here.

Hope that helps.

First off, Skylake is Intel's 6th generation of processors, and their numbers start with a 6. So, you are probably using an i5-7200U processor, which is actually a 7th generation processor (as you said) which is sold under the code name Kaby Lake (and not Skylake).

Microsoft said they were only going to support Kaby Lake (7th gen) processors on Windows 10 and no other operating systems - but this is a Microsoft statement, concerning Windows 7 and 8, which does not concern Ubuntu or any other *nix system. See for instance PCWorld news link.

You should be fine using Ubuntu, if necessary using sempaiscuba's bugfix.
