Unfortunately, not all drivers are even eligible for HLK/WHQL testing, and even for those that are eligible, getting some drivers to pass the HLK/WHQL tests is effectively impossible.
The only option that will remain available to devs who want to release drivers for versions of Windows other than Windows 10 will be to have those drivers pass HLK/WHQL testing.
This will effectively make it impossible to release new or updated drivers for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 systems, including Server 2012 R2. The option to manage device signing for the client machines should now be back where it always was: Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Devices: Unsigned driver installation behavior.Microsoft has announced that it is ending the ability to cross-sign drivers, effective 1 July 2021.

It used to be found in Group Policy Editor under Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Devices: Unsigned driver installation behavior.
The problem is that the option that used to exist for disabling driver signing in Windows XP on Server 2003 does not exist any more.
