Hi:
You have to change 2 BIOS settings in order to install and continue to run W7...

Make sure your USB setting in the BIOS is set to Auto.

Make sure you create your HP Recovery Discs or USB Flash Recovery media before modifying or changing ANYTHING.
The screen shots below are from an HP 15t-j100 notebook computer... the options and configuration screens on your computer may differ.
You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "BIOS Secure Boot configuration" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, before you can attempt to install Windows 7;
After saving the changes, the computer will request that you confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and pressing the "ENTER" key.
If are you are installing from a USB stick and see a "Load Driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing" message, this is because "System Configuration" > "USB3.0 Config in Pre-Boot" is set to "Enabled". This must be set to "Auto". This should clear up the CD/DVD device missing.
Additionally, as the hard drive is most likely partitioned as GPT, you must boot using the UEFI-Internal CD/DVD or UEFI-USB Key/Drive to install Windows on a GPT partitioned disk. Turn on or reboot the computer and tap "F9" or "ESC" and then "F9" when prompted. Highlight the UEFI boot source you are using and press "ENTER".
I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best intallation experience. If you need Windows SP1, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download and create your own Windows 7 SP1 disc. If the DVD refuses to boot as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (may require DISABLING "Fast Boot" in the BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid UEFI enabled USB Flash drive if it is formated as NTFS and may require a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, or WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, as it has options for "GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer" and "FAT32".
From the top...
1) Turn on the computer and immediately start tapping the "ESC" key.
2) When the MENU comes up, press the "F10" key.
3) Navigate the BIOS to "System Configuration", "USB 3.0 Config in Pre-OS" and set to "Auto".
4) Navigate the BIOS to "System Configuration", "Boot Options" and set "Secure Boot" to "Disabled" and set "Legacy Support" to "Enabled".
5) Press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes"
6) Computer should restart and display "Operating System Boot Mode Change"... type the four digit code and press "ENTER".
7) Let Windows 8 boot-up and place the Windows 7 SP1media in the DVD drive or USB port, then log-off / shutdown.
😎 Turn on the computer and immediately start tapping the "ESC" key.
9) When the MENU comes up, press the "F9" key and then select the correct UEFI boot source (Internal CD/DVD drive, USB CD/DVD drive, USB Flash drive, etc.)... Press any key to boot CD/DVD, if prompted.
10) Select "Language", "Time / Currency", and "Keyboard" settings and then click "Next"
11) Click "Install Now"... check "Accept Terms" and click "Next". Click "Custom (Advanced)".
12) You may need to supply Intel SATA/RAID drivers at this time... Download f6flpy-x64.zip and extract to USB Flash Drive.
13) "Where do you want to install Windows 7???" Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated Space" you created earlier and click "Next".
14) Follow all prompts and answer as needed. Enter Windows 7 key when requested.
15) Please install the Windows 7 64-bit drivers from the HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j003cl Notebook PC Drivers page.
