Sorry, but there is no way to "downgrade" from Win10 to Win7, in the sense that you can retain any data, settings, or apps when switching OS versions.

You have to do something known as a Clean-Install and that overwrites everything.

Also, you would have to purchase a license for Win7 as that is a different OS version and requires a different product key.

Also, presuming your PC came with Win10 preloaded, HP would not carry older Win 7 driver for it, so if you force the install of Win7, you will be stuck with the basic generic drivers that Microsoft installs and some of your hardware then would not function properly.

It is generally a BAD idea to buy a new Win10 PC and then expect to run Win7 on it.
