Hello,

 

I have downgraded to windows 7 on my old laptop and everything seems to be working fine except the wifi. Windows 7 does not recognize the wifi adapter. I tried going to the hp website to download the necessary drivers but they are only available for windows 8.1 and 10. I was not able to find a wifi driver that works with windows 7.

 

Does anyone know where I can download the necessary drivers to get the wifi to work on windows 7.

 

Thanks in advance.
