Hi:

 

HP retired support for your notebook since it is more than 10 years old.

 

The only place that I know of where you can find drivers for your notebook would be from this reputable 3rd party website.

 

HP Pavilion dm1-4210us BIOS (driverscollection.com)

 

There's only one potential problem.

 

The BIOS update was written to be run on Windows 7.

 

I have no idea what will happen if you run it on W10.

 

It may work just fine, or it may permanently wreck your notebook.

 

Update the BIOS in W10 at your own risk.

Thank you for the information and advice.  The laptop does work fairly well considering its age, so I may leave it be for now, but I'll save the BIOS in case I need it in the future.  I work my hardware to the ground lol, anyway... thank you!
