Which hardware is missing drivers for Windows 7?
Any chance they can be written in the future?

As most others, I have been intrigued by the DN2820FYKH, and Just placed my order for one of these, acompanied by a Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB and 4GB Crucial CT51264BF160B. I am primarily thinking of running Win8 on this.
Here's the thing; I just spent a bit over budget on these parts, and forgot an essensial element; My AVR has no HDMI support, and my TV does not do audio passthrough (toslink output) above 2ch stereo. Now, being on a tight budget, replacing my precious old NAD T754 receiver is out of the question.
What I'm looking for, is a functional method of toslink S/PDIF output (Receiver can't do DTS-HD or TrueHD anyway). As I will not be using any analog audio output, the cheapest possible option for digital optical output is what I need - preferrably a USB solution. Honestly, I'd prefer some cheap "ebay china cr*p", if it gets the job done properly. I've had a look at the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage micro 2 - but with shipping to Norway its still going to be about $50.
Any ideas?

Which operating system are you using? HDMI audio works fine in all but for Windows 8.1 you need to use UEFI boot and have Legacy Boot disabled.
If you're using Linux Mint, the no HDMI audio problem isn't NUC specific. There's a known fix from another thread:
Add the following groups to your account: audio, pulse, pulse-access, video, voice
In a terminal window run the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
apt update
apt install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms
Reboot the system.

Thanks for the info. Damn, I had hoped that this NUC would be able to play hi10p @1080. It seems I really have to get the i3 Version then
