Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

Laptops especially contain specialized hardware for which, for full functionality, specialized drivers are required -- and these come ONLY from the OEM, in this case, HP. Your PC came preinstalled with Windows 10. If you remove or overwrite the original Win10 on your PC with Win 7, you are going to encounter serious problems as there are no HP Win7 drivers for the new hardware that comes with new machines.

MS supplies drivers that provide only basic functionality. This means that some of the hardware functionality is likely NOT to work if you force a downgrade. That includes functions like the touchpad, WiFi, switchable graphics, USB ports -- to name the functions commonly reported here.

That said, someone else might come along and point you to Win7 drivers for other model PCs that that will work with yours -- but if that does not happen, you will then be stuck with a PC with limited functionality as HP is not writing Win7 drivers for their new Win10 PCs.

Hi, @BBB_BBB :

You should be able to use the W7 x64 software and drivers from the HP 250 G4 business notebook, which has the same hardware as your model.  Do not use the BIOS or firmware files from the above model on yours.

Under the graphics and chipset driver section, you will see some driver files have the same name but are described by Intel chipset model.

You want the Braswell drivers for any drivers that have duplicate descriptions.

Hello, WAWood 

Thank you for your comment.

But Win10 OS consumes a lot of resources and is rather slow on this laptop. Hardware of this PC is good for Win7 or Linux.

I've bought this low-end laptop for my son for education purposes. And we plan to make some experiments with it.

PS: an advise for anybody who will decided to donwgrade OS from preinstalled Win10:

For experiments you can replace original HDD (with preinstalled Win10) with some old HDD. Then you can check working of the laptop on another OS. If you will decide to use Win10 instead then you need just install original HDD.
