Hi:

 

You cannot install W7 on any Stream notebook that has an eMMC drive.

 

W7 does not have any drive controller support for that kind of drive, which is why it is asking for drivers.

 

And there are no W7 drive controller drivers available.

Unfortunately, you are going to have to live with W10 64 bit.

 

No other operating system will work.

No, for the same reason you can't install W7 32 bit, Vista, XP, Windows 2000, 98, 95, or 3.1

 

No drive controller drivers exist for an eMMC drive on those operating systems.

I guess you can always write to Microsoft and Intel and ask for them to do that.

I do not work for HP, Intel or Microsoft.

 

You are wanting them to create drivers for W7.

 

If you want that to happen, you will need to ask them to do it.

 

I'm not going to do it for you.
