Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello so I successfully installed windows 7 on my HP x360 11-ab025tu previously a windows 10. The problem is there are no supported drivers for windows 7 (only windows 10) on the official HP site.

 

Is there a way I can manually install these drivers?Thanks

You're very welcome.

 

I can give you the parts list for your notebook, but it will be of absolutely no use to you for finding drivers other than for the Wi-Fi adapter, which I already gave you.

What you need to do is to look up the hardware ID's for each device that needs drivers, google the ID and see if you can locate a source for the drivers.

 

I may be able to help you find drivers but not without the hardware ID's.

 

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device:

Most likely your notebook is missing the Realtek SD card reader driver (PCI Device) and hopefully, this one will work:

You need the Intel graphics driver for the Braswell processors:

 

Either try the one from the 250 G4...

Hi:

 

Looks like you can use some of the W7 drivers from the HP 250 G4 which can come configured with an Intel Celeron N3060 processor:

 

Where you see drivers labeled for Braswell, use those.

So, booting the W7 installation media from your notebook's USB 2 port worked, I take it?

Hi Paul, sure I downloaded about 2 drivers as those were the only ones with Braswell on its name. I need a driver for my wifi though as of now im using an external adapter

Hi:

 

According to the parts list for your notebook, it has an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168 802.11 ac 1x1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 combination WLAN module.

 

Here are the links to the W7 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers you need for that model Wi-Fi adapter:

 

Wi-Fi:

Bluetooth:
