Hello,

 

Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting.

 

** Here are your computer specs> http://support.hp.com/bg-en/document/c05366605

** Here are the drivers for your PC model > http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-15-be000-notebook-pc-series/10862306/model/146890...

 

 

Yes, your computer does come with no operating system installed (actually it is FreeDOS but I can safely say there is no OS). This means you have to obtain a license for the operating system and install it on your own - e.g. Windows 7, Windows 10 or Linux-based one.

 

Since you already have Windows 7 and if you like it, you may continue using it. Drivers - this is basically a software that controls the hardware - the bridge between the operating system [e.g. Windows] and the hardware, tells Windows how to use the hardware.

 

You need to visit the URL above, select Microsoft Windows, then Windows 7 and download/install all the drivers. Probably this wasn't done by your friend.

 

Example:

> http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp76501-77000/sp76532.exe  (HDD firmware update)

> http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp75501-76000/sp75512.exe  (Card reader driver)

> http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp75501-76000/sp75510.exe   (Intel RST driver)

> http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp75501-76000/sp75522.exe   (LAN driver - Realtek Ethernet adapter)

> http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp76001-76500/sp76419.exe   (bluetooth driver - Realtek Bluetooth adapter)

or

Some more tips... Once the drivers are applied, ensure your PC has the latest updates - install the informal Service Pack 2 update

 

1. Install the Prerequisite Update (KB3020369)
2. Get the Roll-up and 3. Install it

Install antivirus software from reputable vendor - I recommend you choose Kaspersky (www.kaspersky.com) or ESET (www.eset.com)
