Hi:

 

There are 250 G5 models with the Intel Celeron and Pentium processors which is why there are drivers for W7 64 bit.

 

Models with the 7th gen processors can only run W10.  There aren't even graphics drivers for W8/8.1.

 

Here is a link where you can try to modify the W10 graphics driver to run on W7.  I would try modifying the driver posted and see if it works...read the modification instructions given by BruceBTS, and then read his last reply on the thread.

Microsoft and Intel are doing everything they can to prevent anyone from using any other OS but W10 on platforms with the Kaby Lake chipsets.
