pavillion 15 cb015nl
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi guys, I've actually downgraded my 15cb015nl from win 10 to win 7, due to some compatibility problems with some softwares for my job.
I found almost all drivers, except for the vga ones.
I've downloaded nvidia geforce experience / the last driver avaible for my 1050 on win7, but everytime I try to launch it, the screen says 

"you must install an intel driver first"

 

anyone here can help me plz?


I'm sorry for my terrible english, unfortunally it's not my first language

Hi:

 

Your english is just fine.

 

Here's the problem but there may be a solution for you...

 

Intel only developed a W10 driver for the Intel graphics, as Microsoft had announced that it would only support PC's with 7th gen core processors and the Kaby Lake chipsets for W10.

 

Now here is the possible solution.

 

This clever person was able to modify a W10 Intel graphics driver to work on W7.

 

You may be able to use the exact driver he did, and see if it works.

 

If not, follow his instructions to modify the W10 Intel graphics driver on your notebook's support page.

 

See Bruce BTS' post below for the mod...

Hi Paul! 

It works! 

Thanks so much for your help, now I just need to find out how to transfer all the data and os from the HDD to the SSD, since I don't want to restart the whole process hahaahha

You're very welcome.

 

You can try a free utility such as Macrium reflect to clone the hard drive, but I think you would have to remove it from your notebook and put in in an adapter.
