Product: HP 15-f272wm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello forum, thank you for taking the time to answer my qyestion.  Can someone please provide a link to the windows 7 drivers for the HP 15-F272WM.  It will be greatly appreciated. 

 

I need all the drivers.  I thought I had found the correct chipset driver, but when I attempt to install it, I get a msg that the system does not meet min requirements.  IS there a particular order these drivers must be isntalled in? 

 

Thank you in advance!

Your PC came preinstalled with Win10, meaning it has NEW hardware -- for which there are no Win7 drivers.

 

Laptops especially contain specialized hardware for which, for full functionality, specialized drivers are required -- and these come ONLY from the OEM, in this case, HP. Your PC came preinstalled with Windows 10. If you remove or overwrite the original Win10 on your PC with Win 7, you are going to encounter serious problems as there are no HP Win7 drivers for the new hardware that comes with new machines.  

MS supplies drivers that provide only basic functionality.  This means that some of the hardware functionality is likely NOT to work if you force a downgrade.  That includes functions like the touchpad, WiFi, swtichable graphics, USB ports -- to name the functions commonly reported here.

If you want full functionality for the machine, you need to retain its original preinstalled OS version.

 

Good Luck
