Product: Envy dt7-7300
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I installed Windows 7 professional, replacing the original OS (8.1) that was upgraded to Windows 10 under the free upgrade.

 

My LAN and USB components are not recongized and windows determined that they are not properly installed.  The original driver for the LAN was Realtek 8.2.612.2012.  This however was compatible with Windows 8.1 OS. 

What driver is required to work with my Laptop and the New Windows 7 OS?

 

Thanks in advance.

MZ.

Hi:

 

You can use all of the W7 x64 drivers and software from the dv7t-7000 on your model, except the BIOS and firmware files.

You'll find the USB 3 driver listed under the keyboard/mouse drivers section.
