Hi,


Did you buy new retail Windows 7 activation key from Microsoft? You can download Windows 7 ISO and make bootable USB using this:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool


See this:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows7


Clean install instructions: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html

Disable secure boot and Enable legacy from BIOS, to boot from installation USB media:

Plug in USB in USB 2 port to boot from it.

Download additional drivers from here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/6875200/model/7132770
