If it's a new laptop, you probably cannot install Windows 7 due to unsupported hardware. New CPUs do not allow installation of Windows 7 and also the recent Meltdown and Spectre exploits will never be patched for new CPUs on Windows 7.

I would say to go to your BIOS and start Windows up from USB. From there you can custom your install and format the HDD and just load Win7 on there.

Never ever downgrade, you're opening yourself up to a whole world of pain in terms of security vulnerabilities
