Does my GA-VM800M-775 Support windows 7? I tried to ask Gigabyte's support and they said it doesn't and it has no drivers for it. When i've seen a youtube video that is showing clearly that the motherboard can run Windows 7.

It officially has no drivers but will most likely work just fine with windows 7.

You've answered your own question since apparently it's shown working on Youtube.
Generally speaking the DRIVERS for older motherboards (if not too ridiculously old) have drivers in newer OS's. Most or all the drivers should install automatically so don't install them if unsure.
Probably W10 would work fine too. I'm not sure the reason for asking completely so it's hard to comment further.
SYSTEM MEMORY at most will be 2GB (2x1GB DDR) so you'll want to limit things like the number of browser tabs open.
MERGED QUESTION Question from lmistspear : "Windows 7 and drivers"
lmistspear :
So i have a question. My current Computer is a bit old to the point that the Built in Motherboard Drivers for LAN, Sounds etc. Are Windows XP Compatible and the driver updates/installations are Windows XP compatible only. If i upgrade to Windows 7 will i be able to install them and run functionally or would they just only run on Windows XP that the updates and the installer are compatible with windows 2000 and XP?
ss202sl :
what MB?

What's the brand and model of the motherboard? Don't expect 32-bit XP device drivers to install or work with Windows 7 64-bit.

GA-VM800M-775 Is my motherboard. Gigabyte. And i plan to install a Windows 7 32 bit. @ko88
ko888 :
A lot of driver support for VIA chipsets is already included in Microsoft Windows 7 32 and 64-bit versions.
You can check the Windows 7 section (bottom of the web page) of VIA's support page for more info: https://www.viatech.com/en/support/driver-support-faq/#drivers

@ko88 The LAN Chipset in the motherboard is Realtek Ethernet 10/100 Mbits . I only care about that. I don't care about the Integrated Graphics Driver tbh. Graphic Cards exist

You can get the Realtek 8100C LAN chip driver (Win8.1, Win8, Win7 and Vista Auto Installation Program (SID:1635513)) from Realtek's website: http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=6&PFid=6&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3
