Network Driver missing Windows x64 HP Probook 450 G0

[Nia26]

I did a fresh install of Windows 7 in my HP Probook 450 G0 and I need help finding the drivers for "Network Controller" and an "Unknown Device". I think that's the reason why I can't connect to the WIFI because I need to install those

1. Network Controller

    Hardware Ids

          PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_088E&SUBSYS_40608086&REV_24

2. Unknown Device

     Hardware Ids

          ACPI\HPQ6007

          HPQ6007

     Physical Device Object Name

        \Device\00000057

You need these drivers for the ID's you posted:

Sorry @Paul_Tikkanen , @Mans  you both must have replying while I was looking.

Here is the drivers support for that model

You might need to click on the "Choose a different OS" and then pick Windows 7 64bit (assuming that is what you installed)

Then all of the drivers are present for everything.

I've installed everything in this list and it was able to fix the "Unknown Device", but not "Network Controller". Is there anything I'm missing?

Hi:

Try manually installing the wifi driver.

Go to the device manager.

Click on the Network Controller needing the driver.

Click on the driver tab.

Click on Update Driver.

Select the 'Browse my computer for driver software' option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.

That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp65170.

Make sure that the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way.

Here is a partial copy and paste of the driver setup information file, which shows driver support for the hardware ID you posted.
