laptop specs:

Nvidia GeForce 930MX 2GB
8GB DDR4
256GB SSD

No, not really.

Asus does not offer any Windows 7 / 8.1 drivers for that laptop. That means certain devices will not be able to be used like WiFi and Ethernet and maybe the USB ports.

windows 7 will not run on a kaby lake CPU. and also for any AMD ryzen CPU's too. even if you were able to get it running MS stopped supplying security updates to windows 7 on newer CPU's. it strictly says on the product page of any motherboard now that windows 7 is not supported

Ahh... I forgot about that agreement between Intel and Microsoft.
