The main problem with Win 7 and new hardware are the required drivers. Win 7 installation disk doesn't have USB 3.x, SATA, graphics and MVMe drivers. If there are drivers to the new hardware, you have to add them to the Win 7 installation disk.

From the latitude 5300 specs the chipset is integrated in the processor.
SIW2 is the one that knows everything on the subject.
