Hp pavilion power 15-cb079nr
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
I recently installed a fresh version of Windows 7 Pro on this laptop that came with windows 10. But when I check my device mananger, the network work controller driver was not installed and had a caution icon next to it. I got the hardware number of the network controller but when I searched it, nothing came up in google. What driver can I install that will fix this?

Did you know your machine uses Intel Gen 7 processor and many vendors now don't supply drivers for Windows 7 because Windows 7 will be out of support from Microsoft very soon. 

 

Anyway, your machine has Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265NV 802.11ac 2x2 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 combination WLAN adapter. Please try Windows 7 driver from the following list

That driver did the trick! Thank you. I understand the dying support of windows 7 with newer technology, however windows 7 is probably the most reliable OS and still has a lot power to it. Thanks you for the driver!
