Chrome isn't going to work...only supported for W10/W11.
Try Firefox:
The standalone installer file is a small file.
Download to your W10 PC. Copy the file to a USB flash drive.
Plug the flash drive into your HP 2000.
Copy the file to the W7 desktop
Run the file, and hopefully you will have a working Firefox browser.

You're very welcome.
If you need to install the W7 Wi-Fi and ethernet drivers for your notebook, here are the links:
Wi-Fi:
MediaTek (Ralink) 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN Adapter Driver
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71001-71500/sp71421.exe
Ethernet:
Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver

The only other thing I can think of that you can try would be to see if you can install IE11 using the standalone installer (2nd option).
You will probably have to download the file on your PC running W10, copy the file to a USB flash drive...probably what you did with the Edge file I attached earlier.
