HELP! I NEED DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS 7

[EdgarasKa]

Hello Guys,

First of all I just installed windows 7 (Ultimate Edition) because I don't like Windows 10 at all, especially all the apps that I find useless for I have plenty of them on my phone. So, now that I've got Windows 7 installed on my "HP Notebook - 15-da0047nw" I can't find the drivers. I really like Windows 7, so is there any way to get the drivers for my laptop? I need all of them - sound, graphics, wireless driver and so on... I await for your reply, thanks in advance! 🙂

Hi:

Unfortunately, you won't have any luck with that. 

There are no audio, or graphics drivers, no USB 3.1 drivers, and I'm not sure the wifi card will work on W7--even with the driver installed.

Here are the links to the W7 wifi and bluetooth drivers you need for the RTL8821CE wifi card...you can see if they work.

Hi Paul, 

So, your wifi driver actually works! Which is great news 🙂 With the help of the IOBIT Driver Booster I downloaded most of the needed drivers too - so far sound, microphone and webcam works fine and it seems I have USB 3.0 drivers installed too. Also, I downloaded the NVIDIA GeForce MX110 graphics driver for Windows 7 and that fixed the screen resolution.

Here's the outcome:

19 drivers updated using Driver Booster: https://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php

MX110 Graphics driver: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/156777/en-us

Thank You PAUL so much, without the Wireless Network driver I wouldn't have done it!

P.S. I use my laptop only to browse the Internet, play games and communicate with my family and friends, and that's what I needed - simple windows without those apps. Basically, it seems to run smooth and fast - Many thanks again! 🙂
