1. If you want to install a new clean installation of Windows, you can use How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support and Create an ISO image for Boot Camp from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support. Please be aware that 2015 Macs may not support W7 anymore.
2. If you want to transfer the entire Windows installation intact including your installed programs you should consider third-party tools like Winclone or CampTune to clone from the old Mac to the new Mac using OS X.
3. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-easy-trans fer is another method to consider.

Well my new mac is under 90 days and i have not really done anything except send a couple of documents to it.
Should I return it and get the Mac 2015? Then I would probably use windows 10 and a higher version of quicken also
1. You do not need to return the Mac, unless it will not let you install a new copy of Windows 7. 2015 Macs and BCA do not support W7 anymore.
2. Go to About This Mac. What is the exact year/model of your current Mac?
3. If you need a clean Windows installation, you can use an external Optical drive (DVD/CD reader) and use a physical DVD to create an ISO image using the previous link. Once you have the W7 ISO on your new Mac, run Applications -> Utilities -> Bootcamp Assistant and use a USB2 flash drive to create a Windows installer using the ISO and the drivers needed to install Windows.
4. Once Windows is fully installed and working, boot your old and new Mac into Windows. Use the Windows Easy Transfer tool to get your files from the old Mac to the new Mac.
Is this what you want to do?
