That's actually a bad idea --forcing a downgrade to Win7. Unfortunately, there are no HP Win7 drivers for your laptop.

The oldest Windows version that came preinstalled on your PC was Windows 8.1. If you remove or overwrite the original Win8.1 on your PC with Win 7, you are going to encounter serious problems as there are often no older drivers for the new hardware that comes with new machines. Since it came with Win8x preinstalled, HP does not supply drivers for older operating systems for it.  If you want full functionality for the machine, you need to consider restoring it to its original preinstalled OS version.

Some driver alternatives you can pursue are listed below ...

You can try using Windows Updates to find drivers from the Microsoft repositories for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

If Windows Update doesn't yield new drivers, you can pursue alternative that are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider Community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-upd...

If you then run into trouble installing drivers through Windows Update, you can try using Microsoft's Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

Good Luck
