Hello,

 

A client requires laptops still downgraded to Win7. Laptop came with Win10 and unable to find Win7 drivers that work properly for this laptop. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Brendan

Hi:

 

You are going to have a major problem finding all the drivers you need for W7.

 

Intel, Microsoft and HP are not supporting any Kaby Lake PC's for any other OS but W10.

 

And there will be some sensors, etc for which there are no W7 drivers.

 

There is one person on this forum who clains to have figured out a way to get the Intel graphics driver to work.

 

I have posted his suggestion below, last post.  You will need to know how to find the hardware ID for the graphics adapter, because I highly doubt it will be the same as the one in the model you are working on.

 

You may have to do this to the W10 Intel graphics driver on the m6's support page.

Thank you Paul those drivers worked to get me up and going. The only thing missing is the PCI Simple Communications Controller, but I think we can get by without it until the company gets up on Win10!

 

Appreciate the help as always,

Brendan

You're very welcome, Brendan.

 

A long shot, but see if this driver works...

 

This package provides the Intel Management Engine Components Driver for supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

Were you were able to modify the graphics driver to get the graphics to work properly?

HP Recommended

ok, I will give that a try next week when I can get my hands back on the laptop.

 

Yes, graphics are working great. So far so good!

HP Recommended

That is super!
