No DRIVERS for HP COMPAQ CQ58-305SW?

Hello

I just bough HP COMPAQ CQ58-305SW and found that there are no drivers listed for WINDOWS 7 software?

How is it? So now I have to buy windows 8?

Please answer me

Hello:

HP only supports the use of the PC with drivers for the current operating system (windows 8).

People in need of support for other operating systems must purchase a professional PC.

You can probably find the W7 64-bit only drivers you need, but they all will not be in the same place.

Please read the information about the position of HP on the demotion to W7.

If you still want to try to go down to W7 x 64, here are the links to the drivers, I think that you need:

Make sure you create your Windows 8 recovery media before trying to go down, like the recovery partition will probably work more.

You must first install the AMD chipset driver and restart.  First download listed is what you need.

Then comes the W7 video driver that I think will work for your model as it lists the GPU 7310.

Then the rest of the CQ57 W7 drivers should work on yours too.
