Hi:

The last Broadcom wifi drivers released for W7 were from 2015, so you have the latest one available.

If you let me know the product number of your notebook, I will post the link to the Broadcom driver listed on the support page.

Hi:

This would be the latest W7 wifi driver for the Broadcom wifi card your notebook has...

Why don't you just install a legal version of W10 that your notebook came with by making bootable installation media using the media creation tool at the link below...

The W10 product key is in the BIOS, so you don't even need it or need to know what it is to install W10.

You're very welcome.

You don't need to buy a W10 product key.

The key is in your notebook's BIOS, so if you ever want to install W10, you can do it for free.

Run the free utility that I zipped up and attached below, and it will show you the W10 product key and the version of W10 the key is good for.
