Hello. Firstly I'm apologize for my bad English. 
Recently I installed Windows 8.1 Corporative Preview on my HP Pavilion dv7-7005er with ISO-image from USB-flash disc. 
Now i want to backup to my Windows 7 Home Premium (I have Recovery HDD with the files) but don't have a HP Recovery Manager to use it. 
Is there any possibility to backup from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7? Or where can I get the Recovery Manager for Windows 8.1?
Hope someone will help me as fast as possible.

Hi Imperast  Did you make the recovery disks when you had Windows 7 installed? I don't see a download for recovery manager for Windows 8.1 for your system. If you have the recovery files still on your hard drive this document should work for you.

Find the section "Recovery from the startup screen (during system boot)"

Hi vasanthnanduri. You should be able to use the 'boot time' recovery method to recover without the Windows software installed. Let me know how that works out for you.

See the section "Different ways to launch Recovery Manager"
Using System Recovery, Factory Reset and Minimized Image Recovery Options
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02638587

As a side note: Your notebook does have Windows 8.0 Bluetooth drivers available.
