Probook 445 G7
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I recently bought an HP Probook 445 G7, but the laptop comes only with a 256GB SSD. 
For my tasks is not enough, then I decide to buy a new SSD with 1TB to upgrade the laptop.
I don't have problems in install the SSD or install Windows, but to simplify the process is nice to have a unique software that installs all necessary drivers instead of being installed by Windows.

HP Support Assistant can do it? Or exist another one to do that?

Best regards,
Ivo Marques

Hi:

 

The HP Support Assistant software is supposed to find and install drivers for your notebook automatically, but it is not always 100% complete.

 

You can download the HP support assistant software from the link below...top right side of the page.

 

https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html

 

If you run into any problems trying to find drivers, please let me know, and I will be happy to help you out.

 

One of the drivers that won't be available from HP is the chipset driver for your notebook. 

 

I recommend you install this driver first and restart the PC, then proceed from there.

Hi, 

First of all, I would like to thank the recommendations.

But I would like to give you a note about the HP Support Assistant, it didn't install or suggest to install some drivers such as the HP Hotkey Support or as AMD Video Driver and Control Panel.

Best regards,
