8.1 is SUPPORTED , 7 takes a little tweaking to install.

You can install windows 7 or 8.1 on a skylake system.

Windows 7 takes a few extra steps due to no native chipset support.

i am planning to install windows 8.1...anything i should be aware of while installing or a regular install will do?

8.1 is perfectly fine , only 7 takes extra steps.

Initially, Microsoft didn't extend Skylake support to Windows 7/8.1. In August, they backpedaled on that and installing Windows 7 on a Skylake system should be an ordinary process now.
