There is no available download link anywhere in these HP sites.

 

But you can try to follow the suggestions given by Paul Tikkanen in this thread, if you can clearly read all the 25 character product activation key on the COA sticker pasted on the back of the laptop: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/Download-Windows-7-OEM-Iso/td-p...
