Hi:

 

You should be able to use the W7 x64 drivers and software from the 15t-p000 on your model, except the BIOS and firmware files.

But in p108ne and 10 is only 8.1 drivers. I'm afraid it would be Windows 7 compatible with my laptop and performance comes? Because no drivers for Windows 7.

Hi:

 

The drivers from the p000 are for the same hardware as your model.

 

Since I don't have your model, I wouldn't be able to answer any questions regarding its performance under W7.

 

I can't imagine why it would not run just fine under W7 though.

This computer was shipped with Windows 8, not with Windows 7. So, HP probably has not created any device-drivers for "obsolete" software: Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000/NT/98/95/3.1/DOS.

 

Note that Microsoft support for Windows 7 ends in January 2020 -- not too far away.

At that time, you will need to install Windows 8 (or buy a copy of Windows 10), to continue to get security-updates for Windows.

 

After January 2020, it's probable that "other" software (anti-virus, Adobe Reader, et cetera) will also NOT be updated.

 

My recommendation: reinstall Windows 8 -- it should be "painless", and will work until the year 2023, if your hardware lasts that long!

From: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04471391

 

specifications for your computer:


Microprocessor: Intel Core i5-4210U with Intel HD Graphics 4400 (1.7 GHz, 3 MB cache, 2 cores, 4 threads)

Memory: 6 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM (1 x 2 GB, 1 x 4 GB)
Video Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 840M (2 GB DDR3 dedicated)
Hard Drive: 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA

 

These specifications greatly exceed Microsoft's recommendations for a "minimum" installation of 64-bit Windows 8:

* single-core at 1.0 GHz,

* 2GB of RAM.

 

 

A faster disk-drive (7200 RPM versus 5400 RPM) can marginally improve the performance,

but I see no reason why your computer is "slow".

 

If you think that it is slow, you should take it to a professional, namely a qualified technician,

because it's impossible to do a diagnosis on this message-board.

 

Perhaps, Windows 10 lives up to its claim of being "better" and "faster" than Windows 8 ???
