Intel's 7th gen CPUs work only with 2xx motherboards, unless, you put a 6th gen intel core iX-XXXX cpu in the 1xx motherboard and update the BIOS settings, then, it works with 7th gen cpus and 1xx MOBOs, so you have 2 choices:

1. If u have a spare 6th gen intel core cpu, u can upgrade the BIOS urself
2. Ask for the shop assistants to update the BIOS so it would work with 7th gen CPUs.

Otherwise, your set-up wont work.
