Product: HP 15-BS062ST
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hey, it's me again, the guy stupidly trying to install Windows 7 on a machine for which HP only offers Windows 10 drivers.  When last we left our hero, he had gotten rid of all the yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager.  Good news, but now the brightness function keys on the laptop are nonfunctional (predictably).  No settings in display options or the control panel can change this setting. I think this is because Windows is using a "Generic PnP" monitor driver which technically works but provides no display options. (The usual locations one would find brightness controls on Windows 7 (such as "power options") are similarly devoid of settings. Am I correct that the Generic PnP monitor driver is to blame?
