Hello @Rajaya

 

Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting.

 

Officially, HP does not offer Windows 7 drivers for your computer - drivers are available only for Windows 10. Your computer model has been designed and tested with Windows 10 in mind. Windows 7 hasn't been tested and certain hardware might not work properly with Windows 7.  My opinion is to keep running Windows 10 on this PC.

 

If you have to run or test something on Windows 7, you could run it on a virtual machine. Here is more info:

Microsoft offers free virtual machine for testing purpose >> https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

 

 

Hope this helps.

Hi, @Rajaya :

 

You should be able to use the W7 x64 drivers and software from the 15t-ay000 on your model, except the BIOS and firmware files.

You will also need the usb driver, which is not on that support page.

 

Download, unzip and run the setup application from the link below.
