Need drivers for a 11 year old pavillion dv4030us

[hondur]

I reinstalled Win7 on my 11y-old laptop, which I still use from time to time. It didn't install the drivers automatically and I realized that HP stopped supporting these old machine.

I searched internet for drivers, but the sites that I found all had nothing beyond scam. 

Need help.

Thank you,

Hello,

Welcome to the HP Support forum.

Yes, this device is an old one.

What drivers you need exactly ? What component does not function ? Didn't Windows 7 automatically install drivers ?

Can you provide the hardware IDs of the devices you need drivers for:

I cannot guarantee I will be able to find them but will try.

I just checked the specs of this PC and in my opinion Windows 7 would run painfully slow on it ?

If it still works, have you considered replacing it with Linux-based OS such Lubuntu ? It will probably run somewhat better and you will not need drivers

Hi:

It looks to me like you can use the Vista drivers from the HP nc6220 business notebook.

You will have to manually install the graphics driver.  The graphics driver is listed first.
