driver for notebook HP 255 G6 for Windows 7

[Dinozavr]

Hello. I bought a laptop HP 255 G6. I want to install Windows 7. I can not find drivers for Windows 7, all offers only for Windows 10. Tell me where I can download the driver. Sorry for bad English

Hi:

What APU/graphics does your notebook have?

AMD A6-9220 APU

or

OK.

A couple of things you need to know beforehand...

1. If you are installing W7 with a USB flash drive, you need to boot it from the notebook's USB 2 port.

2.  There are a couple model wifi cards that may not work in W7, even though there are W7 drivers for them.

You have to get most of the drivers directly from the hardware component manufacturer's websites.

Chipset:  Install and restart the PC.  You want the 1st file listed on the webpage.

Graphics:  Install and restart the PC.  You want the 1st file listed on the webpage.

Audio:  Accept the agreement.  Download and install the 2nd driver on the list and restart the PC.

SD card reader:  Download, unzip and run the setup  application from the 1st driver on the webpage.

Touchpad:  You can use the W10 driver from the 255 G6 support page, as the file also contains the drivers for W7, W8 and W8.1.

Since I don't know what model wifi adapter your notebook comes with, after you install W7, please post the hardware ID for the device you see listed in the device manager labeled as a Network Controller.

In Russian, I believe it is labeled:  Сетевой контроллер

That way I know what wifi and bluetooth drivers to give you.

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device.
