Hi:

 

You cannot install or run W7 on any PC with an Intel 8th gen core processor.

 

The last Intel notebook models that could run W7 were those with the Skylake (6th gen) processors and chipsets.

 

The issue you are having is that W7 does not have the required USB drivers in order to work.

 

You might be able to install W7 if your notebook has an internal DVD drive.

 

After that, you will find no drivers for the graphics, USB and probably not the wifi, amongst a few other odds and ends.
