The following link shows its specs
https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05370401
It has Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ (2.8 GHz, up to 3.8 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 6 MB cache, 4 cores) which is an Intel 7th den processor.
Intel and other vendors won't write drivers for Intel Gen 7 and after because Microsoft only supports from Intel Gen 7 (similar for AMD ...) and later from Windows 10.
In short, you can install Windows 7 but it won't work as you paid for.
Regards.
