Coudn't find the wi-fi drivers for Win7 (32-bit) for my HP Notebook - 15-bw538au. Could someone please assist to find wi-fi drivers for this. I'm unable to connect to internet via Notebook, but I could download drivers from my other pc and copy to it. Thank you.

Your machine comes with FreeDOS actually and you made a bad decision to install Windows 7 32 bit on it. Why because

• Firstly Windows 7 is a dying Operating system, vendors only write/develope Windows 10 drivers for new generations of both Intel and AMD processors.
• Secondary when nearly all the world are moving to 32 bit OS, you still stay behind with 32 bit OS. Vendors will support 80% or more customers and leave 20% or less behind.

If you wish to continue, please try the following driver for network

For unknow device, I need to know its hardware id. For the 3rd one, please try Chipset driver from the following link

If still no luck, Install Windows 10 64bit and use drivers from the following link

Btw Hardware ID value is ACPI/SMB0001 for Unknown device. How may I find the driver with hardware id from amd?
