Hi:

Please see this discussion.  If your notebook also has the Intel 3168AC wifi adapter, it will not work on W7...

Ok i will check for it but if it has ralink adapter, this driver, it will be compatible with windows 7?

Hi:

It definitely won't have a Ralink wifi adapter.

It will have one of these...

Realtek 802.11b/g/n (1x1) WiFi and Bluetooth® 4.0 Combo 12

Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168 802.11ac (1x1) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® 4.2 Combo (non-vPro™) 12

Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11ac (2x2) WiFi and Bluetooth® 4.2 Combo (non-vPro™) 12

Ok but if i install windows 8.1 all the drivers that are required will be compatible with os?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I can't say if the 3168 works on W8.1.

It does not work on W7 and it works on W10.

No one has tested it on W8.1 and reported whether or not it worked.

Otherwise, the rest of the devices should work on W7 or W8.1.

There are drivers out there. 

There are also W7 drivers for the 3168AC, but if you read that discussion, they don't get the wifi card to work.

Thanks for your quick reply Paul!!! You are amazing! Uhmm can you provide me all the drivers for windows 7 for this laptop? But i want download links to be ready not to open different new tabs for each download if it is easy for you!

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

You should be able to use the W7 drivers from the HP Probook 450 G3 on your model, except the BIOS and firmware files.

That model also has W8.1 drivers if you want to install W8.1.

Thank you so much you are amazing! But on firmware section i found an intel driver should i download it? But i dont think that my laptop will need conexant audio driver i think it needs realtek audio driver.... and i think all the drivers will be working properly on windows 7, right?

Anytime.

You can only install the BIOS and firmware files from your notebook's support page.

The BIOS and firmware files from any other notebook will either not work, or wreck your notebook completely.

You're right.  I forgot your model uses the Realtek audio chip.

For the audio, accept the agreement.  Download and install the 2nd driver on the list.

The drivers from that model should work on yours, as it also has the skylake processor and chipset.

If there are drivers that don't install, let me know for what device(s), and I will see what alternatives there are.
