Error after downloading A for 1 hr

When I click on execute, I get a message that reads: We could NOT detect a Java Development Kit (JDK) v7 or newer on your system, please browse to its path if known:"

Or download the following compatible JDK. When I click in the link provided, I am not sure what it wants me to download that I haven't. Please help.

This is what the link opens http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

You want to download the relevant Java SE Development Kit 7u79 for your machine. If you have a windows and its a 64 bit (which it probably is) download the windows x64 version. Once installed everything should work properly. Let me know if it doesn't. Sometimes you have to configure Android Studio.
