Hi,
I have not found my case in Troubleshooting. So I'm describing the problem here.
- The Esp WIFI with the same cable works fine with Win10.
- In Win7 I've got the board in Windows Control Panel's 'Devices and Printers' page - 'STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (COM8)'. The status is Ok. The IDE reports 'searching ... no ports found'. I tried all different options: reinstalled drivers, reinstalled WEB-ide, reset and cleaned COM ports. No changes.
  Moreover when i Hold down the button, and then plug the board in while keeping it held, I get 'Red and Green light brightly for a fraction of a second, then they start 'pulsing', and sound signal of a connection to PC. But nothing happens on the side of IDE

Have you tried the native ide? I think with the web ide you need to enable WebUSB in chrome via chrome://flags/#new-usb-backend

The native ide should work better when programming through the serial port though. (I use a pico though and windows 10, so your mileage may vary)
