HP APU A8 downgraded to Windows 7 from preinstalled Windows 10

[onemanik]

Dear Helpers,

I have HP apu A8 (15-bg004au) Windows 10 Home preinstalled. It had some problems like running slow and hang, so I installed Windows 7 (32bit). Now it's running smoothly but I'm unable to connect it through WiFi. Is there any way I can install WiFi/wireless drivers for downgraded Windows 7 OS??? Did I do good to install win 7 on it?? Possible problems and solutions if you have??

Please help!!

Regards

Manik.

Look in Device Manager for items that indicate either an exclamation mark or question mark.  If Windows cannot locate a driver for that item, get the Hardware IDs and come back or Google to find a Windows 7 driver for each device.

Hi, @onemanik

You need these W7 wifi and bluetooth drivers...

This package contains the driver installation package for the Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE wireless LAN Controller in the supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

You're very welcome.

Make sure you install the AMD chipset drivers and restart the PC, for the USB3 ports to work.

You want the 1st file listed on the webpage.
