Back up your data. Boot Windows 7 from disk. When given the option, delete the partitions from the drive and create a new partition. Install Windows 7 on the new partition.

You should also download the Windows 7 drivers for your computer first and have them available on a flash drive in case Windows 7 does not recognize your devices. You might also want to consider just buying a new hard drive to install Windows 7 on and keeping your old hard drive as a backup.
