Well, before wiping the existing Windows 8 installation I would suggest to take a 1:1 copy of the disk with something like Clonezilla (free and open source) or Acronis True Image (paid and closed source). In that way you can restore his previous Windows 8 installation if wiping it didn't solve the issue with Windows 7 installer freezing up.

If the mainboard has secure boot and EFI/UEFI make sure you a) disable secure boot and b) set the EFI/UEFI to legacy mode. Windows 7 is from times before EFI/UEFI and secure boot.
