Drivers for Windows 8 & how to install

Hello Intel community
I want to use Windows 7 & 8".1" on my computer in a virtual machine.
I can't find any drivers for my network card (Wi-fi AX211 160MHz) for Windows 7 & 8".1" on your website.
Why don't you offer/have Windows 7 & 8".1" for this network card?
I found some here (https://www.driverscloud.com/en/services/GetInformationDriver/74772-125252/intel-wifi-22700-allzip ),
but when I'm in Windows 8, the Device Manager under Network Card "only" shows this one (see part of the screenshot),
because it's not the WLAN network card (otherwise it would find WLAN networks),
because there's no .exe in the drivers that are available.
I use a translation program (from German to English).
And I'm not writing it in German because when I change the language on your website (no matter which browser), it automatically changes to English a few seconds later. What do you have to do to install "these" drivers in Windows 8 or to make the WiFi work in Windows 8?
Again, I'd like to say in advance: "Thank you very much for your answer."

In a virtual machine (and I know because I run W7 and wxp in a virtual machine) it uses the drivers of the host machine, which is w10 in my case.
