HP Spectre x360 (1st gen, 2015 build, windows 8.1) tablet mode not working

[Sali11]

I recently received the laptop back from HP because of screen issues--freezing, ghosting, flickering. HP replaced the screen--I  had a QHD and it was replaced with the same. I have seen the thread with a workaround, with (found on page 7 of the thread here ) to install an older driver version (ver. 3.0.10.3036 Rev.A).  instead of installing the latest HP update.

However, this only seems to work for a machine running Windows 10. I am running Windows 8.1, and when i tried to install it, I received a message stating that the driver version was incompatible with my version of Windows.

So my question is, does HP have an official solution to enable tablet mode in Windows 8.1? Or does the community have at least a workaround? I'm certainly tempted to send the machine back to HP, but after being without it for several weeks nd having just gotten it back, I'd prefer to try a quicker fix if it is available.

Thanks!
