Hello,
My notebook is hp 255 g3 and had windows 8 installed, but I have needed to install windows 7 64 bit.
Now my network card does not work LAN cable or wifi. The FN keys either, I have tried to install the web controllers but without success. These did not work for me: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=6709373&swLangOid=35&swEnvOid=4063
Can someone give me all the correct and necessary drivers for this computer? (Keyboard, network, graphics ...)
Product code J4R73EA#ABE
thank you very much in advance

Unfortunately, that I wouldn't know.
I got that software from the 250 g3.
The only other suggestion I can offer would be to try the hotkey software from the 455 G2...
This package provides HP Hotkey support for special function keys on supported models that are running a supported operating system.
