HP Recommended
Product: 14-cf0013dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

My work necessitates running antediluvian software on Windows 7

 

Of course there are no new laptops that come with Win 7 installed, and HP and/or Microsoft make things difficult for me by not providing Win 7 drivers for new laptops.

 

The good news is that I found working drivers for most of the devices: Ethernet, WiFI, card reader, etc

 

The only thing I cannot find a working driver for is the touchpad.

 

Please help!

You may have been able to find a refurbished laptop from HP that has Windows 7.

I already have a newer laptop, a 14-cf0013dx.

 

What kind of touchpad does it use so that I can find a device driver for it?

After thinking about it, your solution, buying a refurb Win 7 laptop was the easiest solution.

 

Done, and thank you!
