Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have a hp envy h8-1419 I have downgraded to windows 7. IPMMB-FM (Formosa) Board.

 

The computer boots up fine, I’ve got this far.

i am stuck at finding a drivers compatible in legacy mode and windows 7 for this computer.  If I can get this computer to connect to internet with the Ethernet driver I’d be able to auto update drivers. I did this all years ago but can’t seem to get it done now.   Any help would be appreciated

Hi:

 

You should be able to use the W7 x64 drivers and software from this model which has the same motherboard.

 

I would not use any of the BIOS or firmware files though.
