Hi

I would consider several options...

Compatability for Windows 7.

Keep Windows 10 and try Virtual Box to install Windows 7.

Dual boot Windows 10 and Windows 7.

Hi, @Yusufsherif

You should be able to use the W7 x64 drivers and software from the 15-ab100 on your model, except the BIOS and firmware files...

Thank you, @ Paul Tinakaran. 

I was able to update most of the drivers as you suggested. Still, I am in need of drivers for PCI Data acquisition and Signal processing, PCI Device, PCI Simple Communications controller. 

I have attached the Hardware IDS for your reference. Please suggest on updating these drivers.PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller - Hardware IDSPCI Device - Hardware IDSPCI Simple Communication Controller - Hardware IDS

You're very welcome.

See if these drivers work...

PCI Data acquisition and Signal processing:

This package contains the driver that enables the Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework firmware. Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework provide system temperature and power utilization information for the system thermal protection to function properly. This package is provided for supported notebook models running a supported operating system.
