Need HP Z400 Workstation Drivers for Windows 10 Professional 64bit

[ankurgupta555]

Hi,

I have HP Z400 Workstation. Windows 7 Professional came with my PC. When Windows 10 released I upgraded it.

Now I want to reset/reformat my PC. So I need drivers for Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

When I looked at website I saw drivers up to Windows 8.1. Windows 10 entry was not present in dropdown menu.

Please tell me where can I find Windows 10 drivers or let me know if Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 drivers will work with Windows 10 or not?

Hello ankurgupta555 ;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

I read your post about needing Win10 drivers and wanted to help.

The problem you're up against is that Microsoft only supplies drivers with the most basic functionality, and what you really need for FULL functionality in OEM machines is the specialized drivers written for the specific hardware found in those machines -- and unfortunately, there are no HP Win10 drivers for your PC.

While Win8.1 drivers most often DO work on Win10, the same can not be said of Win8 drivers.  You could try them individually, but before you do that, you should consider using a product like Driver Backup to make a backup of your existing drivers, so you can restore the current drivers if the new ones pose problems.

Some driver alternatives you can pursue are listed below ...

You can try using Windows Updates to find drivers from the Microsoft repositories for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

If Windows Update doesn't yield new drivers, you can pursue alternative that are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider Community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-upd...

If you then run into trouble installing drivers through Windows Update, you can try using Microsoft's Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

But basically, to get full hardware functionality from your PC, you would really need to restore it to its original factory condition, and for that, you would need HP Recovery Media.
