    I would like to run windows 7 on my laptop.I all ready hate windows 10 main reason i have had to reinstall it twice now second time there was a issue with wireless and i could not figure out how to get it to work again so i had to reformat and reinstall from recovery.And in which case recovery takes so freaking long on a laptop that runs on low power during recovery it only runs at 1.89 ghz with quad it's max as far as i see is 2.59 ghz.With maximum performance enabled.

    The two problems i see is that this HP laptop is embedded with windows ten through the BIO's .It has the option of UEFI and Legacy mode in which case it seems that Legacy will allow me to install windows xp,windows 7,windows 8 and windows 10.

    But i have all ready tried this once be for.And for some reason when i tried to install windows 7 it would boot but would not allow me to go into windows 7.It looked like it was stuck or some thing and i have no idea why.

    This is the laptop i bought where i work at walmart
    HP Silver 17.3" Pavilion 17-g121wm Laptop PC with AMD A10-8700P Processor, 8GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 10 Home

    First off, be sure you have a full recovery disc in case Win 7 is actually worse.
    You are on the right track with the BIOS settings and if you cannot boot into 7 after install its either BIOS or drivers. You will need to replace (recommended with SSD) or completely wipe the HDD including all partitions.
    This may help

    If you go to Win 7 HP will no longer support you - but MG is better support anyway!

    You posted about your Win 10 problems HERE and were offered some simple advice on fixing them. You did not even reply. Fixing your Win 10 problems is by far your best course of action.

    I should have every thing fixed now.I think the main problem was that the OS was a OEM issue.It was built into the laptop so i got a new copy of windows 10 64 bit pro.And it seems to be working fine.

    Took me over 9 hours to do a lot of jumping around.And it seem to run better now with pro than home 64.I have to move from windows 7 to 10 to 7 and finally it worked once again with 10.What a mess in hell this was.
