Hello,
So I recently installed windows 7 into my laptop for reasons of underperfoming and really not being suited for windows 10. But now i struggle with drivers for my laptop. Also I tried to install the win 10 version of drivers but they didn't really worked. I'd really appreciate some kind of help with this problem as I'm open to really all possibilities.
Please help HP 🙂

Hi:
See if these drivers work...
First install the AMD chipset driver and restart the PC.
Select the W7 x64 driver from the list at the link below.

Graphics: Select the W7 x64 driver, install and restart the PC
PCI device: Download, unzip and run the setup application from the 1st driver listed at the link below.
Network Controller:

Bluetooth:

After you install the above drivers, if there is anything else you need like the unknown devices, please post the hardware ID's for the devices that still need the drivers.
Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device...
