Windows 7 drivers for HP Pavilion 17-e046us

[JP2]

I need to reinstall Windows 7 on my mom's HP Pavilion 17-e046us laptop.  She is 90 years old and does not want Windows 10 - there is no convincing.  The only link that still works in the previous post by Paul_Tikkanen is the Network controller.

Can anyone point me to the Windows 7 drivers for:

SMBus Controller

Ethernet Controller

PCI simple communications controller

USB Controller

HPQ0004

Thanks!

Hi:

See if these work...

Install the smbus controller driver first and restart the PC.

This package contains the Intel Chipset Installation Utility and Driver for supported notebook models and operating systems. This utility enables the operating system to show the correct name for the installed Intel hardware in the Microsoft Windows Device Manager.

File name: sp61717.exe

Ethernet Controller:

This package provides the Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver that enables the Realtek Network Interface Card (NIC) Chip in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

File name: sp61723.exe

PCI simple communications controller:

This package provides the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems. The Intel Management Engine Interface enables communication between the host operating system and the Intel Management Engine firmware.

File name: sp61719.exe

USB Controller:

This package provides the Intel USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems. The driver enables USB 3.0 devices.

File name: sp61721.exe

HPQ0004:

This package provides the HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection Software (HP 3D Driveguard) for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. The HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection Software (HP 3D Driveguard) protects the hard drive by "parking the heads" if the notebook is accidentally dropped, or is abruptly impacted by another object.

File name: sp61037.exe

Thanks Paul - I can't thank you enough. 

All the drivers worked except for the Ethernet Controller.  Not sure if there were different controllers in this laptop model - the hardware IDs for the controller in this laptop are: 

PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_1971103C&REV_07
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_1971103C
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&CC_0200

Thanks again!

Thanks Paul.  That did the trick.  Laptop is up and running with no exceptions in Device Manager.  You're awesome!
