    Create a partition for Windows 7, then create a folder named win7 and copy there all the content of the Win7 DVD (enable see hidden files). Afterwards launch the setup.exe in the win7 folder. ;)

    You might have issues with drivers depending on the manufacturer. HP will not support Windows 7 on computers that shipped with windows 8. I was going to try downgrading a laptop to 7 and no drivers were available.
