Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Would like to install Windows 7 instead of 10 on it. Tried multiple installation usbs and can't get any of them to work. Any ideas? One will successfully install everything then wont boot. Second and third stop with a red line before even getting to installation screen. Windows 10 will boot, but not 7.

Its specs

 

    https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06693971

 

It has Intel Gen 10 processor, namely Intel® Core™ i7-10750H (2.6 GHz base frequency, up to 5 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 12 MB L3 cache, 6 cores).

 

No way you can install and run Windows 7 on an Intel gen 10 and above possessors machine.

 

Regards.
