HP 15-af148ca No Windows 7 WiFi/Networking Drivers

[Connor678]

I recently installed Windows 7 on this notebook going from Windows 10 in order for compatibility with certain programs that don't work well with Windows 10.

I could not find any Windows 7 drivers what so ever on the HP website and it seems there is only Windows 10 drivers. I am missing many drivers but my main concern is the WiFi and networking drivers as those are need most.

On the back of the notebook it says it had a Broadcast Radio Model: BCM943142Y

The Hardware IDs for the missing Network Controller are:
PCO\VEN_14E4&DEV_4365&SUBSYS_804A103C&REV_01
PCO\VEN_14E4&DEV_4365&SUBSYS_804A103C
PCO\VEN_14E4&DEV_4365&CC_028000
PCO\VEN_14E4&DEV_4365&CC_0280

Any help is appreciated!

Hi:

See if this wireless driver works...

The package contains the Broadcom wireless LAN drivers and utility that are required to enable the integrated Broadcom Wireless LAN Adapter in supported notebooks that are running a supported operating system.

File name: sp72879.exe

You need this ethernet driver...

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: sp72119.exe

Thanks Paul! Those both worked, I managed to get the other drivers by installing the AMD chooser drivers.
