Some people have been able to install Windows 7 on their Windows 10 compatible machines, however somethings like touchpad drivers can be difficult to find Windows 7 versions.

You are right, there are only Windows 10 drivers (released 2017) for the Touchpad. There are no Windows 7 and 8 drivers for the built-in device. However, if you want, there is nothing stopping you from using an external USB Touchpad.

Hi
As its a Synaptics driver, and therefor non OEM specific.
Open device manager, there should either be an ! on the current "installed" driver, or one showing as
Other devices also with !.
There are 3 base synaptics drivers included within 7's driver store.
Whichever of the 2 options you have,
select update driver >>> Browse my computer >>> Let me pick >>> UNTICK show compatible hardware >>> try each of the drivers listed
you can safely ignore the unsigned driver warning
notes
my hp uses a synaptics ps/2 port touchpad driver, 17 0 18 25, dated 2017, which the OS picked up automatically.
check your Bios it might have a touchpad default setting thats stopping the install
UNinstall any Lenovo touchpad programs first

As already stated, only Windows 10 64-bit drivers are listed for your Lenovo IdeaPad 520S-14IKB laptop.
I would use a Logitech wireless USB mouse to replace your laptop's touchpad.
Besides it supporting Windows 7, it will make navigating and performing functions faster and easier.
