No you cannot install windows 7. There will not be any win 7 drivers for the latest hardware. Also see if this applies-

To access the boot menu, tap F12 as soon as you reboot. Do some research about using windows 10.

why in the world go backwards (love to hear it)
MS ends w7 support Q1 2020 !
intel just ended it. Halloween day, just 2 days sooner , this month. Intel ends all W7 driver zip download NOW.
why use W7, its DEAD, it lasted for 10 long years, W10 is vastly more secure,(secure boot and all the trimmings)
and 100% supported.

it is brand new PC.
there is no W7 support, (but the CD should boot if you)
turn off SAFEboot. in UEFI bios, now it does
set the boot order to CD drive first (ODD optical disk drive)
and boot any CD or DVD made for any OS. even linux. (making them run and not have dead key chips that a deeper rabbit hole.
USE F12 to force this boot.
no CD stated, labels matter. real MS disk?????????? retail W7 ?
