First, you can't just get Windows 7 without purchasing a license if you have 8. Second, if you created a bootable USB stick for the installation you would not be running any type of setup.exe to start the setup, you boot off the USB disk, it will run the setup.

Are you trying to run the setup from withing Windows? Sounds like you are doing things the wrong way here.

You will need to spend about $100 to get a Windows 7...

You need to make a proper installation USB stick or DVD from the disk image using Rufus. Then boot from it and select custom install, first step delete all existing partitions. Then install to the remaining single unpartitioned space.

You will want to run 64 bit Windows in most cases when possible since it allows use of over 4GB of memory.

Windows 7 is not a free downgrade from 8 or 10. You need to purchase a disk or full disk image.

I have no idea what is on your USB stick, but you need a full install image to make an installer disk.
