I have a brand new HP ProBook 455 (A10-8700P CPU) that came with Win10. I would like to backlevel it to Win7 using a clean install (from DVD), including a repartition of the hard drive.

Got good technical advice here and ended up buying a new psu (from the States...I'm in Honduras) as well as a new hard drive.
