The last one is a Broadwell so it should work just fine.
The first one though is a Kaby Lake, it won't work AFAIK.
Do you specifically know of proprietary software (firmware I guess) that Kaby Lake's graphics need? I mean, Torvald's kernel (including proprietary software) supports Kaby Lake's graphics. That support started at the end of 2015 (Trisquel 7's default kernel is too old): https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-OSS-Kabylake-Start

I don't know the specific firmware but apparently one is needed for the damn thing to operate :/
