Drivers for HP Pavilion 15-bc018tx (Windows 7 64-bit)

[iamdnac]

Hi guys,

I want to put windows 7 (64 bit) on this laptop, however, it came with windows 10 home. Obviously there are only drivers for windows 10 available on the HP driver download site. Is there anywhere I can find windows 7 drivers for it?

Thanks,

Ahbeek

Hello,

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

HP has designed your computer to work with Windows 10 and its hardware is supported on Windows 10. If you use a different OS (version) not all functions may work well or at all. HP hasn't officially verified Windows 7 functionality on this PC.

I can also confirm there are no Win 7 drivers officially.

If you install Windows 7 and later If there is some specific software issue, you may be asked to restore Win 10.

If you want to try to install Windows 7, you can later use this free software in helping to install drivers >> https://www.drivereasy.com/

or post the hardware IDs >> http://www.wikihow.com/Find-Hardware-ID   and wait for me or someone else post a link to download the driver.  Note that there is no guarantee in this.

Alternatively, run Windows 10 but keep Windows 7 in a virtual machine:

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions/issues.
