HP 15 F085WM
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Hello 

 

So I just installed windows 7 32 bit on my hp 15 F085WM. However drivers on the hp site are for windows 8 & 10, 64 bit. 

So the drivers im missing : 

ven_10ec&dev_8179 

ven_1022&dev 780b

The top ones the ID for realtek wireless LAN and I managed to get it from their (realtek) site but it didnt work. 

The second one is the AMD SMbus ID, taking me to their (AMD) website but I cant figure out what chipset to select because I have no idea what chipset my notebook runs on. 

 

I've tried everything  so any help would be  appreciated,  thank you.

Hi:

 

You need these drivers...

 

Wifi:

Smbus...I have zipped up and attached the driver you need for the smbus controller below.

 

Download and unzip the file to its folder.

 

Do not do anything with the files in the folder.

 

Go to the device manager.  Click on the smbus controller needing the driver.

 

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update driver.

 

Select the Browse my computer for driver software, and browse to the driver file you unzipped.

 

Make sure the Include subfolders box is checked and the driver should install.
