Important question: Perhaps I've not understood your issue with R7:
Can you, at least, open a working live session with R7 upto KDE?
Or you can't boot R7 neither in the live mode, no login, no KDE?
If you can't install R7 it's obvious you can't update it with a different kernel...
I didn't even managed to start live session from USB with R7. Further I can go is up to grub menu from live USB. All I can get is kernel panic every single time. On the other hand Fedora 23 and Windows 10 both work flawlessly.
If you have any idea how to force use of Intel card with some boot switch it would be great, since I probably could install R7 and then replace the kernel.

Yes, it was so since the first ROSA 2012 LTS and ROSA Fresh R1, but sadly, with the new ROSA board,
since September 2015, ROSA Kernels are still based on my nrj model, but these newer versions are developed by different people, and not by me...
You can still find kernel developed by me, in my personal repositories, I hope to prepare asap new 4.1.17 and 4.4.1 for my personal use and friends
Currently I've lost the most of my enthusiasm, I am serioulsy thinking to abandon any further kernel development...
(I was developing new kernel models, for example joining the nrjQL with the official -rt patchset, this project needed much time, now it's stalled,
all the newer kernels should have been originated from the kernel-one source model I was working on with a lot of real innovations... )
If you abandon kernels for ROSA and Open Mandriva, I will stop using any Mandrake derivative! Honestly.
When I first tried your kernel I actually saw the difference. Literally! I cannot remember what it was, but I remember that difference was huge. When someone ask me why I even bother with Mandriva derivatives, my answer is always NicCo's kernels.
Secondly, even when there was no need for MIB repositories any more, I could always get better, faster and maybe even friendlier help here then on official forums. So, I really want say big thanks to the whole MIB team for all the work you guys done for this community.
I am about 90% ready to say goodbye forever to ROSA and Open Mandriva at this moment and you guys are the main reason why I still want to bother with ROSA and Open Mandriva.
I am even thinking to stop bother with any Linux for workstation use. I need operating system that will work flawlessly since I use this laptop for work. I cannot have non-working system because suddenly something stopped to work properly. I need proper Exchange support, and only Evolution works properly. Fedora works flawlessly, but I cannot get same battery time as on Windows. I need that my battery works at least 6 hours, since it works at least 6 hours in Windows (mostly even more). Best I could get with Fedora was about 3 and a half.
At least I would always have many Linux servers at work and home to play with.

As stated in my previous msg, I've installed the nrjQL kernel on the ASUS N551JX
all ok since the first reboot, is running well and fast, and at least so far no freeze...
Well hopefully it continues like this!
Must wait more time and, in the meantime, put stress on PC, as much as possible
Please let me know (even I am sure it would work great).
I have very little spare time and a lot of work, so I am really close to decide to use Linux for workstation only as Guest OS inside VM on Windows host.
