Need Win 7 Drivers

[Anti_Zac]

Are there any Windows 7 drivers anywhere available for HP Notebook 15-ba079dx? I enjoyed windows 10 but i decided i want to go back and relive nostalgia and enjoy the last few years of Windows 7 before support ends. I need to find all of the driver software for Windows 7 though and I need help finding them.

Thank you very much! This helped a lot, just one last thing, does there happen to be a driver for the webcam? If not, no problem.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

The webcam is a USB device, and the driver should have been installed automatically after you installed the AMD chipset driver.

The webcam should be showing up under a Cameras device manager category (at least it does in W10).

The only driver available would be this one, and I doubt it will work...

Nevermind, you were right, the webcam connected when the chipset driver was installed, I just installed the wrong download, thanks for the help!

Is there a BIOS driver for Windows 7 64-bit for this laptop?  HP startup logo when booting and support logo in computer properties are absent.
