Looking for older HP laptops that may share hardware with HP Pavilion x360 m1-u001dx

[badlizard]

I've successfully migrated from Windows 10 to Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. It's now running very well, although I'm using a USB wifi adapter because I can't locate a suitable driver for the onboard device. In an effort to have Windows search for a driver, I uninstalled it from the Device Manager, thinking it would come back after doing a hardware scan, but that didn't happen. 

My primary search is for a network wifi driver. Secondary would be the touch-screen driver.

Are there any laptops that may share similar hardware that DO have Windows 7 drivers that I can try?

I'm fully aware of the concequences of running an unsupported OS, but I'm willing to take that road as it was necessary for my vynil cutter & CAD program.

Thanks for any direction!

Hi:

The parts list for your notebook indicates that it comes with an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 combination WLAN adapter.

You would need these W7 wifi and bluetooth drivers for that model wifi adapter...

This package contains drivers for the Intel Wireless LAN adapter in supported computer models that are running a supported operating system.

This package contains the driver installation package for the Intel Bluetooth in the supported computer models running a supported operating systems.

If the W7 graphics driver is installed, that should also be good for the touchscreen.

The W7 x64 graphics driver is the 2nd one down on the left side of the page.

There are no standalone touchscreen drivers.

Thank you so much Paul, this is exactly what I needed! Got the wifi working. No luck on the touchscreen, but the display is otherwise working great. I believe the bluetooth was working previously, but I updated the driver anyway.

You're very welcome.
