Hard drive crashed and my replacement Intel 7260AC WiFi & Bluetooth card, the BT does notwork because driver is not supported. Paul Tikkanen supplied it to me last year but his link does not work for me this year.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi:
I have shared a link to my Skydrive folder which has the last Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers HP released for the Intel 7260.
Download, unzip and run the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers in the Intel 7260AC WiFi & Bluetooth Drivers.zip file.

Hmm
I get a "Something went wrong" when it takes me to Onedrive. Then says access denied in small print. My onedrive is in a different email account "Hotmail" whereas I'm logged into HP on my google account.

You're very welcome.
You need this driver for the SMBus Controller:
Intel Chipset Installation Utility and Driver
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp72001-72500/sp72068.exe
You need this driver for the PCI Simple Communications Controller:
Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp87501-88000/sp87981.exe
For the PCI Device, you need this driver:
Realtek PCIe Media Card Reader Drivers
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp84501-85000/sp84713.exe

Thanks again Paul. That cleared all of the warning signs from Device Manager.
Now Win10 did automatically install a driver for the WiFi version 18.33.14.3 with a date of 2018-09-03 when I reinstalled W10. Should I still install the WiFi driver you sent me?

You're very welcome.
The Wi-Fi driver from my zip file is newer than the one Windows installed.
It's optional to use the one I gave you.
I used the driver I gave you on my notebook's 7260AC Wi-Fi card for several years and never had a problem with it.
