Missing Windows 7 Drivers

[Theoldwizard1]

Model Number J7V75AV

I am re-installing Windows 7 from a retail distribution kit (NOT the HP distribution).  I thought I had all of the drivers from the first time I did this, but obviously not !

Try this first.

We need the hardware ID's

I already found the LAN driver (SP68383)

Your link to find the hardware ID ASSUMES you already have a driver installed and I do NOT !

@Theoldwizard1

That is just an example.

It is the same process with or without a driver.

AMD no longer posts the FULL set of chipset drivers on their website.  No SMBus and no USB !

@Theoldwizard1

Try this one???

https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-8-series-chipsets/880g

Scroll down to "Windows 7 - 64-Bit Edition"

Much JOY !!

How in the heck did you know those drivers were in that package ?????

My "gut" tells me this one is not important !

@Theoldwizard1

It can be if you move the laptop around allot while it is running???

That is the Drive Guard.

If you have an SSD it is useless.

I need to take a break but I will look into it and let you know.

Laptop does not get moved while running and it does have a SSD, so I don't need it !  Thanks anyway !!

Same here @Theoldwizard1

I have a 512GB SSD and I don't have it installed.
