I hadn't built a computer in years, and I wasn't very familiar with most of this at the time. Honestly, I don't understand the functional difference between GPT and MBR, But I do understand this was a precursor in order to install the operating system.
A workaround for that is here: https://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ but it's not for the faint of heart, and of course it's unsupportable.
My bigger question is why one would want W7 if W8 (or W11) is installable?
I had an issue with the unit coming with one bad RAM chip (it came with 2 x16GB removable) that was not passing MEMTEST. The vendor shipped replacement RAM out without any issues, and it's been working great.
I'm really happy with the build quality and overall really like the laptop.
Would it work? Yes.
Would it be enough for an always-fast experience: Probably not.
Would it be enough for a child up to teen years? Easily.
In this particular deal, HP Elitebook is under their business line and should have solid built quality.

Good luck!
There's a round button in the middle of the keyboard (to control the mouse?) but is missing the cover for it. Does anyone know what that button is called? Wonder if I should try to get a replacement button cover or leave it as is.
Other than the missing button cover, it works great so far.

Happy with this purchase at $192. Been using a work issued HP 840G7 for a few years so I am pretty comfortable with this size.
