Windows dont support HDR at the mo but Dev Preview coming up adds support.

If you look at the specs for Kaby Lake, they mention that it supports both HDR and DV, but it's left to the manufacturers to implement them. What does "implement" mean? I know that DV requires a hardware chip for it to work, but when Intel says that Kaby Lake supports it, does it mean that the chip has hardware support for it?

According to Matt McRae, CTO of Vizio (i.e. a Dolby Vision-compliant TV manufacturer), there is no specific Dolby Vision hardware chip, and "Dolby Vision is a format + processing/mapping software".

Yes but isn't it the case that the DV software is hardware intensive and as such can not just be retrospectively be added to products that don't have the processing power or needs to be run on products that have either loads of processing power to spare or extra hardware to process the software.
