According to what you have posted, you need drivers for:
JMicron SD card reader
Broadcom 2070
HP 3D DriveGuard
HP Fingerprint validity sensor
Can you provide the product number for your notebook?
None of the drivers for Windows are present at the download driver portal for an 8470p notebook.
Try the following drivers
(JMicron SD card reader)
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52001-52500/sp52344.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50001-50500/sp50181.exe Broadcom Wireless driver
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45501-46000/sp45501.exe HP 3D DriveGuard software
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45050.exe HP fingerprint validity sensor
I updated three of these and verified the links. I am still looking for the Validity Sensor driver for Windows 7
If the drivers for these are difficult to find for Windows 7, they will most certainly be even more difficult to locate for Windows 10. I suggest going back to Windows 7. Windows 10 still has issues that are even worse with devices in notebooks marketed and produced a few generations back.
I am a volunteer forum member. If my suggestion helped you solve your issue, help others by marking that post as the accepted solution. Say thanks by clicking on the Yes button next to the "was this reply helpful?"
