Hello @e-asemm

 

Welcome to the HP Support forum.

 

Perhaps you mean "drivers", not definitions. Yes, there are no Windows 7 drivers for your PC.

HP has officially released only Windows 10 and 8.1 drivers for your model  and  your model was not tested with Windows 7.

 

Windows 7 is an older OS. If you do not like Windows 10 [I feel for you] , Windows 8.1 is relatively good choice - stable operatng system that is going to be supported by year 2023. You can customize Windows 8.1 to look similar to Windows 7 by using this free app Classic Shell >> http://www.classicshell.net/

 

Windows 7 might install and run on your PC but you will have to use drivers from other models and this might eventually cause issue, is unsupported officially and there is no guarantee it will work.

 

 

Hope this helps.

Hi, @e-asemm :

 

You can use the W7 x64 drivers and software from the 15t-p000 on your model, except the BIOS and firmware files.

You're very welcome.

 

Your notebook probably uses a later version of the driver.

 

Try this one...
