Inspiron 15 5567 Windows 7 Drivers
Hi, so i just bought a new laptop and it comes with windows 10 and i downgraded it to windows 7 professional 64 bit. And it is so hard for me to find the correct drivers because the drivers included in this link only works on windows 10.. So any help would be greatly appreciated because I'm trying to find the drivers in the past few days..

Laptops must have Dell customized drivers especially chipset drivers and since there are none for windows 7 for your model, reinstall windows 10.

Even if you somehow get 7 installed, it won't update - Microsoft has blocked Windows updates for 7th generation CPU systems such as this one. And as the second link shows, Dell doesn't support 7 on these either.
In the Windows world, with Kaby Lake and Ryzen CPUs, it's 10 or nothing.
Here's Microsoft's statement
support.microsoft.com/.../the-processor-is-not-supported-together-with-the-windows-version-that-
and here's Dell's:

See the links above - Kaby Lake CPUs (7th generation) support Windows 10 only - nothing older.
If you must use Windows 7, return the system and re-order one with the older Skylake 6-th generation CPU - these are the last Intel CPUs that support Windows 7.
