Post the hardware ID's for the Unknown devices so I can figure out what drivers they need.
Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device:

You need this driver for the usb\vid_138a&pid_0001:
Validity Fingerprint Sensor Driver
If the auto install method doesn't work, try manually installing the driver from the device in the device manager.
To do that, go to the device manager, click on the usb\vid_138a&pid_0001 device needing the driver.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update driver.
Select the 'Browse my computer for drivers' option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp45050.
Make sure that the Include subfolders box is checked and the driver should install.
You need this driver for the acpi\ven_hpq&dev_0004 device:

I don't think that Driverpack software contains viruses, but I would uninstall it from your programs menu if you have not done so already.
Your notebook is old, is not supported for W10 and there actually no 'real' W10 drivers for it.
The drivers I gave you are the official HP Windows 7 drivers from your notebook's driver support page which should work fine on W10.

I have even used some Vista and XP drivers for W10 on old PC's that I upgraded to W190.
They work fine.
So, if all the unknown devices are gone with the drivers I gave you, then you are good to go.
