Your cpu may not accept a W7 install, what cpu does it have ?
Also, did you disable Secure Boot in the Bios ?

Hi,
Probably set to boot to uefi only
dvd is not going to be able to do that
It's better to remove the existing hdd or ssd and insert a new one so at least the original install is intact
But yes you'll have to disable fast start/ secure boot/ and enable CSM/ boot also not as uefi only :)
Make sure os type is set to Other OS.

Another option would be to install a Linux Distro (like Ubuntu or Linux Mint) and then use VM software (like VMware Player) to create a W7 VM.
It might not be worthwhile if you mainly use your PC to play modern games though.

As it shows on the BSOD message, you might need to upgrade the "BIOS" firmware, which is not difficult to do, but if something goes wrong, your laptop will not be able to boot anymore.
You could also try a clean install of Windows 10 1709.
