Windows 8.1 Drivers for 17z-cp000

[Pdawg11239]

Hey! I was wondering if it was possible to dualboot my HP laptop with Windows 11 and 8.1 64-bit. I need Windows 8.1 for some development tools, but I can't find any drivers for my laptop for Windows 8.1. I really need these drivers because I don't have another device to use this on and I need to have Windows 8.1 and Windows 11. I need a Realtek 8822CE PCI-E W-LAN Driver, and a AMD Ryzen 5500U Graphics Driver. Also a synaptics touchpad driver, because my touchpad doesn't work at all under 8.1. This all works under Windows 11, but not 8.1. The only way I can use this laptop is hooked up to a USB mouse and USB to Ethernet adapter for internet. 

Thank you for your time. -Pdawg

Hello @Pdawg11239 

Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... 

I would not go to the trouble of installing windows 8. Use the built-in function in Windows 11

I've already tried this. My program that I need to run (there aren't any alternatives that work) just won't run under Windows 10 or 11. It complains about the program being too old and it poses a "security risk". It doesn't. It's Microsoft forcing me to use a newer version of the program that I don't want to use. 

Thank you for responding.
