HP 15-f211wm (Touch)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I was able to install Win 7(64bit) on a new ssd, with 8 non-functioning  items listed in device manager.    HP support for this model only lists win 10 drivers.    Question:   where can I obtain suitable drivers?

Hi:

 

See if the W7 x64 drivers and software from the HP 250 G2 business notebook work for that model.

 

Do not use any of the BIOS or firmware files.

Thanks Paul, I'll give it a try.    Since my first post, I was able to get the model # of the wireless adapter and download a working driver directly from Realtek,

You're very welcome.

Thanks again, Paul.     These drivers all worked and the notebook is up & cruisiing - no ddevice manager marks.     However, I was really surprised to see that the touch screen still worked, which wasn't expected.      That's a bonus!
