Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a motherboard that doesn't have CSM Support?

Looking for recent motherboards that have CSM (compatibility support module) option...
If you absolutely need Win 7 support there's a project called uefiseven, last time I tried it on my 2600X and RX 580 I couldn't get it to boot sadly.

Windows 7 refuses to cooperate with a very simple task (spoiler alert, to just install itself)
Windows 7 doesn’t fully support pure UEFI ootb from my understanding, all the boot related rules are confusing. Try using this: https://github.com/manatails/uefiseven Tried this and it works on an old UEFI Razer Blade 0116. Good luck to you

Updated ASUS A320M-K with latest version to use newer Ryzen but windows now show BSOD

i tried to install windows 7 ultimate on my laptop ended up here help
If you don't mind about UEFI, you can switch to Legacy on BIOS and boot again the DVD/USB; or if you want to use UEFI, you must use uefiseven to replace bootmgfw.efi in UEFI shell.

Just out of interest, what is the oldest computer that is physically able to run the very first release of Windows?
Without someone creating a UEFI app to implement the legacy BIOS services, it won't work without CSM. Some people actually implemented the BIOS VGA functions so Windows 7 could run on such UEFI boards(the generic video driver relies on legacy BIOS functions even in UEFI mode).

Is it okay to turn off BitLocker in win 10
I was just tryna modify boot logo with HackBGRT (https://github.com/Metabolix/HackBGRT/releases) . Boot is okay , logo is changed ,, not the one I wanted, but in the process I had to turn off secure boot for that. Yes, bit locker was on as by default but turning off secure boot made me write the recovery code on every boot,

Someone can help me?
I do not have much experience with this type of thing, but I'd check the bios if accessible, because it's sometimes as simple as an option that must be switched. If this doesn't work, I know that some companies make special software to reset the logos for specific models. It might also be worth investigating this page (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/bringup/boot-screen-components), which is about the BGRT, or this page (https://github.com/Metabolix/HackBGRT) a program that could fix this, but might also brick your computer.
