Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software...
But Marvell website
Support - Driver Downloads - Marvell
Doesn't have in its website the Marvell 91XX Sata Controller 6GB Driver, can I really harm my computer?
I have installed the same driver for Windows 10 without issue, but with Windows 7 I got this message:
Should I proceed with the installation?
It seems the driver is unsigned
Thanks

It is of course a risk to use an unsigned driver, but if you trust the provider and where you got the driver from it should be fine. I have used unsigned drivers with success before.
If it is the same driver it is signed but probably signing certificate expired or is not trusted in win7, click on See details.
No, but I would obtain the driver from a trusted source e.g. equipment manufacturer.
If obtained from a trusted source, sure not to be malware infected, worst thing that can happen is that it wouldn't work. Signing a driver is not same as signing a file/application for security reasons.
To use unsigned drivers/old outdated driver certificates, doesn't secure boot need to be disabled on UEFI capable systems?
The major risk of installing an unsigned driver is a boot loop (constant blue screen of death) . its usually curable by getting into safe mode and removing the driver . despite that seems simple but its not if your bios comes to be a UEFI bios (comes enabled by default on most laptops) , where i suggest before you do the install to always disable UEFI or switch it to classic mode based on your bios make so you can at least use a bootable media or whatever other fix disks to be able to fix your windows .
