If you want to boot from USB, you should open your BIOS setting and set your first boot to USB, you could refer to your PC manual to learn more about doing this.

If your laptop come with Windows 8, why you want to install Windows 7?

Note that license for Windows 8 won't work for Windows 7.

In Windows 8, you could use Refresh or Reset, instead of format and reinstall Windows:

press the "delete" key while the system is booting up to enter the BIOS ?

So the issue is focused on how to boot from usb? First please make sure that is a bootable usb, then you should find your PC model, different manufacture has different BIOS boot settings, so just as mentioned in the first reply, refer to the user manual to find how to boot into BIOS.
