Please help.

@Omoth

Welcome to HP support community.

Which driver are you trying to install?

[Omoth]

First I went to Device Manager and found a System Device without a Driver

Then went to check the Hardware Id for the Device

After some extensive search I found it may be Intel (R) 82802 Hub Device, Intel (R) Management Engine or Intel (R) Trusted Execution Engine. I hope with your help I'll manage to get the exact driver, thank you.

@Omoth

Did you have any issues with the computer before you began your search to find the driver?

When did you first get the error?

Did you try doing system restore?

The Laptop is fine, it's just very old (Pavilion dv5). I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 10 for security reasons. I just think if HP put the device there it must be for a reason and I'm just looking for the Windows Vista driver (almost all my drivers are old) since the laptop is no longer supported, thanks again for trying to help, I'm sure we'll figure it out.

@Omoth

Since the laptop is not tested for win10, the drivers for the same aren't released.

We recommend reverting to the originally installed OS or to upgrade the device, as updates for the same no longer available.

I hope that helps.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.
