Hi, @Tekeros :

HP does not support the dc7900 for W10, so there are no W10 drivers for it.

I happen to have a dc7900 which runs W10 just fine.

Use the W7 drivers for anything that needs a driver.

You will actually find the audio works better with the W7 Soundmax driver than it does with the default W10 driver that is automatically installed.

If you have a PCI Serial Port device that needs a driver, use the W7 AMT driver.

Everything else should be working with the default windows drivers.

The only other thing I did was to update the default SATA AHCI driver that W10 installs from 2006, to the latest one for W7, which I have zipped up and attached below.

The default windows 10 drivers give me problems with mozilla firfox " Direct2D " " Blocked as graphics card drivers have unresolved issues. " https://forum.mozillaitalia.org/index.php?topic=69131.0

The fix for that would be to buy a cheap video card like a low profile Radeon HD 6540 or a Nvidia GT 610.

Both cards draw less than 30W under load, both cards have full W10 driver support.

Just make sure you get a low profile card that comes with the low profile mounting brackets in the box.

I actually installed a used Dell Radeon HD 2400 Pro low profile in mine. I paid less than $10 for it.

I have had no graphics adapter problems with that card.

But if I didn't already have that card in my junk bin, I would have bought the Radeon HD 6450.

The Radeon HD 6450 was the optional graphics card for the HP 8200 Elite SFF, which has the same 240W P/S as the dc7900.

I never ran my dc7900 with the onboard Intel graphics, so I can't comment on its problems with W10.

All I can tell you is that there is no better Intel graphics driver than the default one W10 installed.

Did you mean: HP does not support the dc7900 for W10, so there are W10 drivers for it [included with Windows 10].

Or: HP does not support the dc7900 for W10, so there are no W10 drivers for it.

Or: HP does not support the dc7900 for W10, but there are W10 drivers for it [included with Windows 10].

Only one only word only can only make only a only large only difference only.

I think I was pretty clear in the first place.

HP does not support the dc7900 PC for W10, so there are no W10 drivers on the dc7900 support page.

Is that better?

Here is why HP doesn't support the dc7900 for W10...it was made long before August of 2013.

Oops ?!

Sometimes, when I read what I have written, I read what I want to see, rather than reading what I have actually written.

OK, you win.
