Drivers

[poofta]

I would really appreciate any direction locating all the drivers associated with my Pavilion M7100Y desktop. System number is PX189AV#ABA.  I am doing a clean win 7(64bit) install. It is a "young" legacy product.

Considering that PC came with WinXP and HP says it is retired - per comment from @CF4

Open the case to reveal the motherboard.  Get the motherboard name - it is normally printed on the surface or a sticker.  Also note what components are installed on the motherboard, IE: video card, CPU make and model (assuming you have had the heat sink off at one time)   and any other add-on cards.

Hi, @poofta

Doing a search on the model number indicates that it has a P5LP-LE (Limestone) motherboard.

If that is the case, here are the links to the W7 x64 chipset, onboard Intel graphics, audio, and ethernet drivers...
