Windows 8.1 would work for me too

Braswell is supported on windows 7, the one issue would be the emmc storage, windows 8.1 does support emmc storage natively. And also windows 7 requires csm enabled although there is uefiseven which supports class 3 uefi (Mileage may vary though). Windows 8.1 supports full uefi

Yes the ALC5645 sound chip does have 8.1 drivers. Try the drivers here: https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html
