Hi @kishan222

 

Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum.

 

For Windows 7 you should enable Legacy Mode (disable UEFI/Secure boot mode) and install Windows 7.

Make sure you delete all partitions on your hard disk drive (HDD) and install Windows 7 on Disk 0 Unallocated space

 

After installing Windows 7, you can download the drivers (and install them) from here >> https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-15-ac100-notebook-pc-series/8499326/model/881935...
