Hi:
HP retires support for all PC's that have reached 10 years of age.
No one can access the HP ftp site anymore.
They ended access to it sometime last year due to security concerns.
I cannot find any existence of the model number you posted.
Generally, this reputable 3rd party driver website has drivers, but you have to know the model number or product number of your PC.

This is a good way for a company to go under. I worked IT for Lockheed Martin, and we consistently had new notebooks from HP every 5 years. Before that we had Dell. HP played a lot of shenanigans. The worst was when they did the company wide split where they separated their commercial/ business networking from everything else. There was one time we could not get new mainboards to repair clients' notebooks for close to 6- 7 months. then they started sending bad boards just to send something. So I would spend the time to take the bad motherboard out and install the bad motherboard they sent. a few times i did this 3 or 4 times for the same notebook. I remember when we had Dell, where if you called Dell , they were always at the end of the call "are you satisfied with todays help, are you sure your satisfied, are you really really sure" The first time I called and talked with an HP tech , the HP Tech would not do what I needed and ended the call with "too bad, so sorry, goodbye, " then he hung up. Personally I bought a really expensive HP Laptop for my Mom around 2008 that they did and end of life on it under 2 years later. The Envy 15t is for a friend. I will never buy another HP product and never recommend one either. Good riddance HP, you serve the public, not the other way around. thanks for the link, they only have the DVD drivers. I need the BIOS , The BIOS chip went bad. have a new blank chip but no BIOS file.
