Hi:
You can't run W7 on that platform.
There are no W7 drivers for the eMMC hard drive.
The reason you are getting the USB DVD driver message is because W7 does not have the USB 3 drivers to install.
You would have to install W7 using a USB flash drive on that notebook and use the tool I at the link I posted below to put the drivers into your W7 USB flash drive installer, but even if you got to the next screen, it would tell you it couldn't find the hard drive (no W7 eMMC drivers for it).
