Downgrade to windows 7 ultimate driver problems

[Cheppallet]

I have a hp 15-r131wm Rev: 2213-110 laptop and it came with windows 8.1. Now like an idiot i went and downgraded to windows 7 ultimate 64 bit without making a recovery disk or doing my homework and i dont have the disk it came with. Now i have an os with alot of missing drivers so now i cabt access the internet nor can i download drivers to my usb and put them on because im missing those drivers too! Please help! Next time ill take more precautions.

Your HP laptop should have a hidden recovery partition on it containing a backup image of the factory default Windows installation.
Provided this partition is still intact you should be able to invoke Factory Recovery at boot time. See this HP support document:
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02638587

Failing that, contact HP directly. They may be able to send you a set of recovery discs.

Alternatively, you can stick with Windows 7 & get the drivers (32-bit or 64-bit) here:

Download the 64-bit network drivers on a different PC & copy them to a pen drive.
Plug pen drive in to your HP laptop and install network drivers.
You should then be able to connect your laptop to the internet.

Go back to the same HP drivers page and download the remaining drivers.
