Downgraded my Envy M6 to Windows 7 but can't turn on WIFI & connect to internet. Require drivers ??

[Turboi]

Hi All,

I have replaced the corrupted old HDD of my lapop and installed Windows 7. None of the F keys are working at the moment. I.e. to adjust screen bright, screen share and WIFI connectivity.

It doesn't show any avaliable WIFI netwroks and  cannot looged to any by carrying out a manual troubleshoot.

Some USB devices get recognised but not all.

I think this is due to drivers. Please advise or comment.

Thank you

HP only provides Windows 8 drivers for that model. Have you looked in the Device manager to see if there are problem devices? I can tell you for sure you need a USB 3.0 driver with Windows 7 and you likely are missing several other drivers. We are going to need to find the hardware ID of each one and manually locate a driver for you.

Hi, @Turboi :

You can use all of the W7 x64 drivers and software from the M6t-1000 on your model, except the BIOS and firmware files.

Your notebook uses the AMD graphics driver only.  That driver will install both the Intel and AMD GPU's.
