Earlier i visited the website and there were updates for my laptop for example bios update but i was unable to download it as i have windows 10 as the driver supports windows7/8 so today i visited the website again today i.e, after a week and today its showing no driver updates available. I request you to solve this issue as i am about to downgrade my windows for the updates so i want to know that if i'll downgrade the windows will i get those updates through the official website because its showing that i have a retired product so help me with all those updates

HP has been diligently working on retiring driver support for all consumer class PC's that have reached 10 years of age.
That is why the drivers used to be there a short time ago, are gone forever.
The newest BIOS update I could find for your notebook is F.2D.

We are currently not allowed to post links to third party driver sites.
I have submitted a request to allow this since HP has decided not to support PC's that are over 10 years old for drivers.
However, I don't see anything improper with letting you know that the DriversCollection.com website has most of the drivers HP released for your notebook's model series.
I use the site all the time and the drivers are legitimate and virus free.
Just do a search for your notebook model and include in the search the website name and you should be able to find drivers that hopefully will work for you.
That is how I found they have drivers for your notebook.

Sir thank you so much for the help but i have a small request. Can i get a list of the updates that were available before they were removed from the website. This will give me an idea about the updates that i have to download and sir one more thing i have windows 10 rn but these updates are for windows 7/8 so should i downgrade my windows to 8.1 to install these drivers?
once again Thank you so much sir for your help

You're very welcome.
Sorry, but that information is no longer available.
Since the BIOS update was designed to be run on W7 or W8, if don't want to take the chance of running the BIOS update in W10 (it may work fine or it may destroy your notebook), I recommend that you reinstall W7, which was the original operating system it came with.
W8 was never available for download and W8.1 is no longer available for download from Microsoft (neither is W7 for that matter).
You really don't need to install any drivers.
If you get W7 installed, run the BIOS update and after that is done, reinstall W10.

You want the obvious ones...Intel chipset installation utility, Intel graphics driver, NVidia graphics driver, IDT audio, Realtek SD card reader driver, Synaptics touchpad driver, Realtek ethernet driver and the Intel Wi-Fi driver.
