I could not clearly understood if you are not able to install Windows 7 or you were able to install Windows 7 but you cannot find drivers.

If you are trying to run both Windows 10 and 7 at the same time, then you won't be able unless you disable Secure Boot in the BIOS.

First of all, Intel will not release drivers for Kaby Lake or newer CPUs for Windows 7...

First of all, Intel will not release drivers for Kaby Lake or newer CPUs for Windows 7 and Microsoft will no longer provide updates. So you will have an uphill battle to get Windows 7 on that laptop.
Windows 7 SP1 offers some built-in drivers and there rest you will have to do manually by searching for drivers from the manufacturer of the component. You could find them on Microsoft Catalog by the component hardware ID.
You might have to edit the INF on some Intel drivers to force them to install on Windows 7 with a Kaby Lake CPU

You should consider installing Hyper-V and running a Windows 7 in a VM
