If you successfully installed Windows 7 on the motherboard. You have to face the fact that no device drivers available for Windows 7.

 

RTX 4060 only has DCH driver which  requires Windows 10 x64 1803 or later.

I219-V has 27 variations, but Windows 7 driver only supports 7 variations.

 

Only Realtek HDA has no problem.

Yes, of course.

You need to give us the device ID.
