Product: HP Laptop 15-bs0xx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have been wanting to install Windows 7 on my HP Laptop 15-bs0xx, but I don't know if drivers are compatible. If anyone knows if the graphics driver, display driver, wireless driver, etc works on my laptop.

@RangesTech -- your computer seems to be "designed for Windows 10".

So, HP did not create any device-drivers for Windows 7.

Note that Microsoft's "sunset" for Windows 7 was January 2020. It is now unsupported.

 

Have you considered installing a Virtual Machine Supervisor, such as VMWARE, and creating a virtual computer, and running Windows 7 as a virtual machine? Then, Windows 7 will use the Windows 10 device-drivers.
