HP 15.6 inch Laptop PC 15-d4000 (4C802AV)
FreeDOS

I have just bought the laptop HP 15s-fq4007ns with freeDOS and I would like to know if I can install Windows 11 as Operating System, that is, I'd like to be sure if my laptop is compatible with Windows 11. Thanks.

The only Windows operating system the notebook is supported for is Windows 11.

 

You can use the drivers from this model because I can't find any for your notebook's exact model number.

There are no Windows 10 drivers for your notebook.

 

You will encounter an issue when installing W11 because it does not contain the storage controller drivers to find the SSD.

 

I zipped up and attached the Intel storage controller drivers below so Windows can find the drive.

 

Copy all of the files in both folders in the attached file to a USB flash drive.

 

Have the flash drive and your Windows installation media plugged into USB ports.

 

Boot from the W11 installation flash drive.

 

When you get to the screen where no drives can be found, click on the Load driver option, browse to the flash drive with the storage controller drivers on it.

 

If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.

 

Click Next and if those are the right drivers Windows should find the drive and install.
