You're facing issues installing Windows 7 on your Kingston SSD. The USB isn't showing up in the boot menu, and you're getting errors about missing BootMgr. Your other USB with a working Windows 10 installation is visible, but the same problem persists. The Windows 7 DVD seems to freeze when trying to expand files. What steps should you take?

It seems your laptop might be struggling with memory. Consider using MemtestX86 to run a few tests and check for issues.
