Hi:

 

See this discussion.  It is not possible to correctly run W7 on that platform because no W7 drivers were developed for the graphics.

 

You can only run W10 on there if you want everything to work.

I don't know how that can be, since there are only W10 drivers for the graphics.

 

The wifi card can't work on W7.

 

The Realtek model has to be removed and two pins masked in order to work on W7, and the Intel 3168 AC card won't work at all.  Maybe masking the pins on that card would work too, but no one has tried it.

 

See this discussion...

Sorry, but no one on this forum will be able to help you get W7 to work 100% on your notebook.
