Hello everyone,

I was wondering from where I can get drivers.

at least I need wifi and ethernet drivers to connect to the internet 

any help will be appreciated

Hi:

 

There are no W7 USB 3.1 drivers for that platform, and most likely the wifi adapter will not work on W7, even if the driver is installed.

 

Here is the link to the W7 ethernet driver...

Thank you for you reply,
the driver you sent me worked and I was able to connect to the internet and install the necessary drivers for other components.

but unfortunately wifi adapter doesn't work even tho I have installed the correct driver.

so there is no fix for wifi driver ?

You're very welcome.

 

There is a fix to get the wifi card to work, but it will require you to disassemble the notebook and mask a couple of contacts on the Realtek wifi adapter.

 

See Markk1979's post at the link below regarding this...

Below is the link to the service manual...the product # and serial # you posted indicate that your notebook is not a 15-Bw0xx, but a HP 15-bs036ng.
