I have 3 rigs with 23 1060 3G cards between them (almost all EVGA GTX 1060 SC 03G-P4-6162-KR). I'd love to bring them out of retirement and mine me some BEAM with them.
My test setup is a Asus Z270-A mobo, Celeron 3930 CPU, 4GM RAM, 16384MB of Virtual Memory and just a single 1060 to start.
EDIT: I was testing with a monitor connected to the Internal graphics and that is what caused the issue. Once I switched to PEG, it started working. I guess unlike Windows 10, Windows 7 does not allow mining with the internal GPU enabled in BIOS and acting as the primary display...
