Windows 7 Drivers

[StoneyMcWheels]

My mom recently bought a computer with Windows 8 on it. It is an HP Envy 700-414. I hate Windows 8 so I installed Window 7, only to find that there are no drivers for Windows 7. All the USB ports are working at the moment. I just need to find a Ethernet Driver or a Wireless driver that will work on Windows 7 so I can connect to the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. She runs a business on her computer so I am trying to get this fixed as soon as possible.

Not sure what you can do as far as the drivers are concerned, but you could buy a small USB wifi adapter which would most likely solve that problem.

You could try to download the Realtek ethernet drivers directly here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Your specific model isn't listed, but according to a question I found on the HP forums, it seems to work anyway. Thread in question: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/realtek-rtl8151gh-cg/td-p/3162723

or you could reinstall win8,upgrade to 8.1 and install iobit startmenu 8.set it to boot to the desktop and voila looks and acts like win7 only quicker.seen too many horror stories about downgrading to even recommend trying.

You, my friend, are a lifesaver. The Realtek ethernet drivers worked. Thank you so much! Clicke the wrong one for solution though. :/
