Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

Two problems ...

First, if the OS came preinstalled on the drive you reused from the other PC, what you are doing now is a License Violation -- because preinstalled OS versions can not legally be used in a different PC.

Second, AR5B125 is an indicator of a Atheros device, which is networking information.  To provide drivers for this PC, we need the PC detailed HP model number, not the networking info.

model number ~ g7-2224nr

product number ~ B5Z57UA#ABA

Hi, @DemonDante

I will assume that you installed a hard drive with a retail version of W7 into your PC, because as WAWood stated, it is a violation of the Microsoft OEM licensing terms to install a hard drive with an OEM operating system from one PC into another PC. 

The OEM license is specifically tied to the PC that the OEM version of Windows was originally installed on. 

An OEM license is not, and never has been transferable under any circumstances.

You need these W7 wifi and graphics drivers...

This package contains the driver installation package for the Qualcomm Atheros AR9000 Series wireless LAN Controller in the supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

Graphics:  1st driver on the list...

You're very welcome.

I think we both paid notice to the body of your post stating... so i replaced it with one from a older laptop it had windows 7 on the old drive...

Be that as it may...

The graphics driver I posted should have installed the HDMI as well.

I don't understand what you mean by what pci card is in this laptop...if you are referring to the graphics, the graphics is part of the processor.  Your notebook has an APU which is kind of like a processor and graphics chip rolled into one.

There are no graphics 'cards' in any HP consumer notebook made in the last 15 years or so.  The graphics chips are integrated onto the motherboard.

There are no W7 HP drivers for the model graphics adapter your notebook has.

It is an AMD Radeon HD 7420G Graphics adapter.

You can try this Dell graphics driver if the generic AMD driver I posted doesn't work.
