Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

If your laptop came with Win10 preinstalled, then downgrading it to Win7 was quite possibly a very bad idea!

New laptops have new hardware for which there simply does not exist Win7 drivers, and HP is not writing old OS drivers for the hardware present in their new laptops.

This means you could be stuck with the generic drivers that Microsoft provides and very often those lack feature you need such as video, audio, and networking.

Please follow these instructions to find the specfic detailed model number of your laptop:  http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824?jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001

With that information, I can check to see if HP provides Win10 drivers for your model.

We can proceed once you provide the information.

Thanks

Hi:

What is the full model number or product number of your dv7?

The product number can be found on the same sticker as the serial number.
