Usually on Acer laptops, you have to set up a BIOS password and disable secure boot. After that, the CSM / Legacy boot option should show up.

But you might have a hard time finding drivers for a Geminy Lake cpu.

There are also tools to boot windows 7 in pure UEFI mode. Check uefiseven

sound drivers available 

Sound is Realtek, by the looks of things, which generally have insanely good 'old OS' support...

That's basically ruled your PC out then, as far as I've searched there's no GPU drivers for your laptop that work properly. Searched around a bit for you and there's nothing I could find that was relevant. Sorry.

 

It's a shame because it'd have performed fine under 7, better than it would under 10 for sure.

 

Nice username by the way :)

UHD 600 drivers exist, EMMC drivers don't.
