Skylake fully support windows 7
A budget would help us a lot.

Older skylake model of most gaming laptops should work
Make sure it has hdmi 1.4 or w/e version supports 4k output

yeah ofc with device id etc. tried some lookup tools as well. there seems to be no windows 7 intel sst driver for my board as well as no usb 3.1 driver. there is a touchpad driver but it gives errors on legacy bios and sometimes bluescreens. on top it is randomly working and stopping.
