EliteBook 840 G3: Elitebook 840 G3 clean install of Windows 8.1 - how to install the drivers?

I bought my laptop working from a former employer, provided that the disk was completely wiped out (no recovery partition or whatever it is) and so I need to do a full clean install.

I installed Windows 8.1 successfully for an external USB DVD. The system starts, but device drivers are missing, including wireless and wired networks.

On the website of HP, I downloaded the device drivers for this machine/operating system combination. These downloaded files are .exe files. I put them on a USB key so that I can transfer them to the laptop. I thought I'd install them as follows:

In the windows Device Manager, identify the network device, right click, select "install driver", point windows in the directory containing the .exe files downloaded.

It does not work. Windows does not recognize the files .exe as pilots.

Q1: I'm supposed to perform each of these .exe files (IE, which will install the drivers, and windows will then they are present?

Q2: Which of the 2.3GBytes drivers should I install? If I install the network drivers Windows will be able to "search the Internet" and find all the other missing drivers?

Q3: Is it possible to get an OEM installation disc that makes the entire process less painful?

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

You are the very welcome.

  • Windows 7 - clean install - missing drivers

    Hello

    I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a machine that was previously running Windows 7 Professional.  I opted for a new installation instead of an upgrade installation.  The problem I am running into is that some of my drivers are missing.  I tried to get the drivers in the folder Windows.old\Windows\inf, and it seems to find them.  However, when I try to intall the drivers I get a message saying "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error when installing it...» Windows cannot find the specified file. »

    I was wondering if there was a way to get this to work, or if I should just look on the Internet and try to find the drivers.

    Another note, when I try to automatically find the drivers, I get no results.

    If it helps, my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S850 and my missing drivers are:

    • Network controller
    • SM Bus controller
    • USB Bus controllers
    • CRW - USB2.0

    Thank you

    Technically, they are not missing. Whenever do a clean install (the best option) you always
    to install the drivers for the motherboard, dedicated graphics card (when there is one), options and peripherals such as printers and keyboards with profiling.

    Download the drivers from the motherboard of Toshiba's web site. The drivers in your list are commonly
    called the chipset drivers, because they are all functions of the chipset motherboards (Notrh bridge
    and the South Bridge).
    There was also the CPU drivers and it is Intel HD integrated graphics card. Windows does
    install a generic graphic VGA driver, but you need the Intel drivers for all of the features of the
    Integrated HD graphics card.

    While you're at it install all Windows updates. Configure the option Windows updates so it
    do not download and install automatically, so you can install them is small. There are
    less likelihood of corrupt updates if you do it this way. You should not have more option
    updates.

  • How do I install the drivers during the installation of windows 7

    I did an install home premium windows 7 dvd by burning a file .iso I downloaded on a dvd and I am facing problems installing drivers. I extracted the drivers on an external hard drive and installing windows 7 they ask me about the drivers before installing windows.
    I have all the drivers in the external hard drive but I tried several times to install them using the button browse and locate the folder that contains every driver and install it alone, but his does not work. So is there a better way to install the drivers?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    During the clean install of Windows 7, users are generally required to install a few drivers for the internal hard drive. These drivers must be written to a DVD disc / USB key and installed when prompted.

    In this case, I believe, is that you are trying to install the wrong drivers. The installation requires the internal hard disk drivers. This driver will depend on the configuration of the internal hard drive (RAID, SCSI, etc.).

    Another possibility could be that other equipment are not properly recognized by Windows 7 installation. You try to install Windows 7 and burn the ISO on a USB bootable and start the computer to the top of this USB key. Here's how you can do:

I am not able to install driver software on my windows 8 pro with media center. I use dell xps 15. Please comment

    Hi Simone,.

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft forums.

    From the description, I understand that your computer Windows 8 accidents while trying to install the driver software.

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2. do you get an error message/code?

    I recommend you to follow the below data methods and check if this solves the problem.

    Method 1: Install the drivers in the State of clean boot and check if that helps.

    Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Check out the link:

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 of the link to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Method2: Temporarily disable the antivirus and check.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.

    In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    I had to reinsall Windows 7 (64-bit) and am trying to install the drivers.  I first tried the latest driver, but there was an error of installation, so I tried the base driver and the same error came.  I ran a disk check and its not finding the problems of difficulty.  Any suggestions?

    I found the problem finally.  HP requires you to have your registry database, set Program Files directory on your C: drive.  After I re-installed windows because I don't want things to my SSD, I've changed the default value.  It is a ridiculous failure in HP software.

  • I can't install the drivers in Windows 8

    I installed Windows 8 Developer preview but I can't install the drivers, even in compatibility mode. They were fully compatible with Windows 7. It's really disturbing, because I can not connect to the Internet and to develop applications.

    From the download page:

    The Developer Preview of Windows is a pre-beta version of Windows 8 for developers. These downloads include beta software that may change without notice. The software is provided as is, and bear you the risk of using it. It may not be stable, work properly or work the way that the final version of the software will be. It should not be used in a production environment.

    Given that Windows 8 has not been released yet not all drivers will work with him. Some drivers are very precise on the version of operating system, you may need to wait until the manufacturer releases Windows 8 drivers (if they make it to your model).

    If the compatibility mode option does not work, some drivers may be available by using Windows Update.

    Troubleshoot Compatibility
    This can help with some (but not all the) programs/drivers:
    (1) uninstall the program, if it is already installed. Then when install you / reinstall instead of double click on the Setup file, right click and select 'resolve compatibility issues.
    (2) then click on 'Try recommended settings' and in the next window, click on "Start the Program" to install it.
    (3) after he set up see if it works properly. Note: some programs are perhaps not able to run in Windows 8.
