Upgrading pre-2013 model HP Compaq to Win. 10

[PF3]

It seems my pre-2013 model Compaq notebook requires upgraded drivers to be compatible with Win 10. Does anyone know which drivers are  correct?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem you're up against is that Microsoft only supplies drivers with the most basic functionality, and what you really need for FULL functionality is the specialized drivers written for the specific hardware found in your HP PC -- and unfortunately, there are no HP Win10 drivers for your PC. HP only guarantees Win10 compatibility for machines made after August, 2013. HP does not have any schedule indicating when, or IF, they will be producing drivers for the older machines.

This means that your PC is most likely NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the drivers is needs for full functionality simply do not exist! 

So basically, you should NOT upgrade your PC to Win10.
