Hi:

 

First go into the BIOS, enable legacy mode and disable secure boot.  W7 is not compatible with secure boot.

 

See this link for the settings to change...

If you are using a USB flash drive, you must plug it into the notebook's USB 2 port. 

 

It won't work from a USB 3 port because W7 does not have the required USB 3 drivers in order to continue.
