is there any brand or model of WiFi 6E (if non available then WiFi 6) that has driver or compatibility for windows 7 and intel i7 CPU 11th gen even if it won't be the same fast or limited speed if it was used on windows 10 or 11? i have a hobby of trying to install old or interesting OS's with dual boot!

i will be ignoring people asking or responding about why i still want to use windows 7 in 2022!

None of Intel's WiFi 6/6e devices have support for Windows 7. Support is provided for Windows 10 and forward only.

For more information, consult Supported Windows Operating Systems for Intel® Wireless Products.
