HP 14 BW008 nf
Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I bought a pc Hp 14 bw-008nf one month ago but was delivered with Windows 10.

I decided to reinstall windows 8 64 bits on the computer but the problem is the Wireless Driver is nomore installed and i have no more access to Internet.

 

Can you give me a link where i could redownload the driver please ?

 

 

Thank you for the answer

Hi

 

There are no W8 drivers for the model wifi adapter your notebook comes with.

 

If you want to use the internal wifi adapter, you will need to connect via ethernet or USB wifi adapter, do the required updates to W8, so you can get the free upgrade to W8.1 from the Windows Store, and then you can use this wifi driver...

 

This package contains the driver installation package for the Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE wireless LAN Controller in the supported models running a supported operating system.

Ok thank you for the answer, i said i was on Windows 8, but i meant Windows 8.1.

I didn't know there was a Windows 8 version for me it was obvious that when i say windows 8 it's indeed W8.1

You're very welcome.

 

OK, then go ahead and install the driver I posted and it should work.

Ok your link worked for me

 

Thank you very much.

 

😄

Anytime.

 

Glad to have been of assistance.

 

I think your model also comes with bluetooth, correct?

 

If so, here is the link to the W8.1 BT driver...

 

This package contains the driver installation package for the Realtek Bluetooth in the supported notebook/laptop models that are running a supported operating system.

Yes i already have 3 devices :

Bluetooth Microsoft Enumerator

Bluetooth Microsoft LE Enumerator

Generic Bluetooth Adapter

 

In my Network Cart devices i have :

Bluetooth Device (personal network)

Bluetooth Device (TDI protocol RFCOMM)

HP Recommended

OK, then you will need to install the bluetooth driver I posted because you want to be seeing a Realtek bluetooth adapter listed, not a Generic Bluetooth Adapter
