Hi:
You need this Broadcom driver for the hardware revision of the model wlan card you have...
The package contains the Broadcom wireless LAN drivers and utility that are required to enable the integrated Broadcom Wireless LAN Adapter in supported notebooks that are running a supported operating system.

If you get the same update cpp error, you will have to reinstall W7 and then use this driver, because for some reason, a lot of folks, once they installed the wrong version Broadcom wireless driver, the registry becomes corrupted and not even the right driver works.

The support page for that PC says it came with Windows 10, but THIS ONE says it should work with Windows 7.

Are you saying that driver did not work? Here is a Windows 8 driver that might solve the problem. It is just a Broadcom BCM43142 802.11b/g/n driver.
