Hello,

 

My grandparents purchased a new Slimline 410-010 machine which came with Windows 10 pre-installed. They expressed concern and were willing to buy a new machine outright just to get back to Windows 7. I purchased a code and had a disk already, so I loaded Windows 7 back onto the machine. It was an OEM Win 10 machine so downgrading wasn't an option. After completing the install, I received yellow exclamation points on the following drivers in device manager:

  • Ethernet Controller
  • Network Controller
  • PCI Simple Communications Controllers
  • SM Bus Controller
  • Universal Serial Bus Controller

I checked the HP support website for the drivers but was unable to find any of them for Windows 7. Could someone here point me in the right direction?

 

thanks

iosman
