Ok, firstly backup all your data on an external HDD
once thats done,just pop in your windows 7 disc in your drive
reboot
at hp bios screen ,press f9
and choose "Boot from CD/DVD Drive"
windows 7 installer should pop up and its pretty straight forward,just follow the on screen instructions 🙂

You mean upgrade you OS from vista to 7 right?
If so you need to either get the discs from HP or from a retailer and install it 🙂
