recently I had to sell my new 5600x and B550 for lack of a graphics card, and jump to intel, just for the integrated graphics, now I want to install win7 but I find some problems, especially with the video drivers, ideas, tips, everything is welcome

Any further specfications? Looks like a case where generic drivers is the only fix.

For Intel, you're better off getting an -f series CPU. You're not going to be able to take advantage of the onboard graphics. So from the sounds of it, you'll have to rely on generic drivers until you get a discrete video card. Check Craigslist and Marketplace for some low power Quadro. A k420 or similar is better than no accelerated graphics at all.
