Product: HP Pavilion DV7 - 4053CL Entertainment Notebook PC
I inherited a this Notebook from a family member who passed away. It was completely erased and I'm wanting to install Windows 8.1 on it and I need the necessary Drivers to accomplish this task. I have the Windows 8.1 OS, but I don't have the drivers. I need to know how to Download the drivers to a flash drive and transfer them to the Notebook.

Hi
If you install the OS, then go here...
it should download and then install updates directly, without the need for a second PC.
