Product: OMEN by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-xf0000 (758R4AV)

First thing I did when I got my new laptop was revert back to windows 10 as I prefer this OS. Then I went to HP to download the drivers for my laptop to see they only support windows 11. Is there any reason for this? And will there be windows 10 drivers coming?

 

The laptop I have is:

Hi:

 

This is a peer-to-peer forum.

 

We do not work for or represent HP.

 

However, I can tell you that HP will not be releasing W10 drivers for your notebook's model series.

 

The only time I have seen them release drivers for more than one operating system for consumer-class PC's is when Microsoft releases a new operating system around the same time that HP releases new model PC's.

 

Since W11 has been out for over two years now, that is why there are no W11 drivers for your PC.

 

Only HP business class PC's have support for more than one version of Windows.

 

For example, a similar HP business class notebook model series with the AMD Ryzen 7xxx processors would be the 865 G10, which has both W10 and W11 drivers.
