I need to install Windows 7 Drivers on a HP Pavillion 15-e092sa.

[SEllis1301]

Hi All,

I have recently had to install Windows 7 (64bit) onto my HP Pavillion Laptop which was built with Windows 8.1 and upgraded to Windows 10 prior to last week.

I currently have a paperweight laptop as I am unable to find any suitable drivers.

Currently I have no network connectivity (Wired or Wireless) so I cannot search for auto updates or use the HP Support Assistant.

Looking at System Information i see the following:

Am I missing something? I understand I may need to get the drivers from the hardware provider but I cannot find this information.

Happy to provide any further info.

TIA.

Hi:

Please post the hardware ID for the device you see listed in the device manager labeled as a Network Controller.

That is the wireless adapter that needs a driver.

Use this guide to find the hardware ID for a device.

https://www.howtogeek.com/193798/how-to-find-drivers-for-unknown-devices-in-the-device-manager/

Then I will post the link to the W7 wifi driver you need.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the super quick response and suggestion.

I have followed the steps provided and have the following information:

PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8179&SUBSYS_197D103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8179&SUBSYS_197D103C
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8179&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8179&CC_0280

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks
