Win7 Drivers Help

[Willmvich]

I'm trying to find Windows 7 drivers for this notebook, but I can't find any source for them.

The HP software can't seem to find any, and there is only Win10 drivers on the support section.

Can someone help?
Thanks.

Hi:

There is no W7 driver support for platforms with 7th gen processors.

The only suggestion I can offer, would be to try these drivers...

Install the Intel chipset installation utility driver directly from Intel and the USB controller driver directly from Intel.

Download, unzip and run the setup application from both files and restart the PC.

Wifi:

Since Intel only developed W10 drivers for the graphics, see if the W10 graphics driver mod from BruceBTS's post works on your model.

If the drivers I posted don't work, you will need to install W10 if you want the notebook to work correctly.

For some reason Windows 10 was making the pc work incredibly slow.
I managed to get working all drivers except for the graphics one, that is working with the generic one ATM.

I'll try your solution.

Thank you so much.

You're very welcome.

Hopefully the modded W10 graphics driver will work on your model too.
