Hi,

 

HP does not support drivers for my 8th gen i5 laptop. I need drivers for my windows 8.1 pro. Please help. Where do I find drivers?

Hi:

 

Intel only developed W10 drivers for platforms with the 7h gen core processors and later.

 

None exist, so if you want to have everything work correctly, then you will need to install W10 x64.

 

If you can connect to the internet, you should be able to still get the free upgrade from W8.1 Pro to W10 Pro by reading the info at the link below...
