    Im just posting this to save the agony i went through trying to find correct windows 7 64 Bit drivers. hopefully this will save many people time since alot of people downgrade from windows 8 to windows 7. This is how i got Windows 7 installed on the HP Pavilion 15 15-E028US 15-E1X73UA E1X73UA / E028US notebook / laptop .

    To install windows 7 go into your BIOS / CMOS and change your boot to LEGACY and then proced to boot from CD/DVD drive with your windows 7 DVD inside and install windows.

    I installed the following drivers in the FOLLOWING ORDER: i only reason i would install in the following ordre is because i had problems installing the USB 3.0 drivers, but if you install in this order the USB 3.0 drivers should install fine.

    NOTE: i tried this with the 64 bit version of win7 and it worked fine, i didnt have time to try with 32 bit win7.
