Not really correct. There are minimum system requirements for every OS, and if this was an older motherboard that didn't support a processor new enough to meet those requirements you could say the motherboard was not compatible and couldn't be made so with hardware changes.

More importantly, computers need drivers for the various hardware devices on motherboards. Partial functionality might be acceptable, but I wouldn't call that a compatible board.

Luckily, Microsoft's generic drivers do tend to let most computers at least operate, even when appropriate drivers from the manufacturer don't exist.
