WIN8 to downgrade win7 drivers 2000-2d11dx
I was helping my friend install windows 7 on his HP windows 2000-2d11dx 8, because she wanted to return to its former operating system before putting laptops.
The HP site has drivers for windows 8 for the model 2000-2d11dx. I read somewhere on the help forums I could try allowing updates of winows find and download drivers for the current operating system for the hardware, but I can't access internet on laptop computer without network drivers.
I've seen people on the forums get replys with links driver for win7 after win8 but for different models.
If someone could help me find network drivers or if more than just the network drivers are available that woul so greatly apreshiated.
Please and thank you
First of all sory for the blow of mouth but I hope you undertsand my frustration.
Once the hours talking with HP help support on the phone, get hung up several times and hit around different departments I finished hand on someone with half a brain.
First I thought that the only way that you are able to download the drivers for a computer HP is if you are on this computer, after explaining that you need network drivers for access to the HP website and download the drivers, that told me that I was wrong and he explained the same silly statement that I have just mentioned. then after talking very slowly why that is not possible I was transferred.
I then spoke to someone on downloading the drivers from another computer with internet access, but I was soon hung up after getting into an argument about the availability of the drivers on the Web site. After calling back and get in touch with yet another person to the help line, I had the same argument about not offering Web site not pilots and hung up.
Then I talked to someone, transferred and finally a person of HP had admit they have 0 drivers for the 200-2d11dx on the Web site. the only option is to pay $15 for a recovery disc. (which should be a link different all the togeather and not included in the driver download section)
View overview page and site specs page are also a copy and paste, there is no depth in details available material. site and equipment specialists are unable to provide everyone with the manufacturing of the equipment (which would be useful then I could get the drivers directly from them)
To remedy this, I went on a no hunting for drivers with absolutely no help from the line of HP support, or help forums.
I go victorius and would like to post how I found the win7 drivers so if anyone has the same problem they hopefully, see this post and not to call the help line only to be jerky around 4 hours.
= End of the story/beginning of solution =.
First of all, I started using my phone and internet teathering for laptop for I can have internet access.
I then found a simular to link to one below helped me to activate windows updates automatically search for drivers.
http://www.itechtalk.com/thread3598.html
(if you can not teather internet phone loan or buy a good cheap wireless USB should work anyway)
After enabling this setting, windows update found all but two of the drivers for the laptop. The two pilots that it was impossible to find was the...
SM Bus controller driver
Network controller driver (windows update find the wireless simply cannot he network controller driver that is connected to the Ethernet port)
I could then find this nice Intel chipset driver for the SM Bus controller at this link
(Note: the following link is ment for all x 64 win7 systems only)
https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/confirm.aspx?httpDown=http :/ / downloadmirror.intel.com/20775/eng/infinst_autol.exe&lang=eng&Dwnldid=20775&DownloadType=Drivers&OSFullname=Windows+7+(64-bit) * & ProductID = 816
Right now, all the drivers have been installed except the card of netwrork, which wasn't a big deal at my friend case she uses only the wireless anyway.
So, for those of you who have this laptop DO NOT CALL HP SUPPORT! they don't know how to help you, if they did not know that they have helped me instead of spit blatant lies to avoid fixing the actuall problem.
But if you do not use an OS that was built for a Tablet; It is possible to switch to Win7, as long as you are ready to use the exclusivly wireless and follow the instructions in my post.
Note: (if I can't find a network driver I will come back here to post it for all)

Hello
I'm wanting to upgrade my my Satellite A50-105 from XP to Windows 7.
Is - this possiable? And where can I find the drivers for it? Thank youThis old notebook was designed for Windows XP Home edition and it is certainly not compatible with Win7 so you will not be able to find Win7 drivers, Toshiba especially not specific tools and utilities.
If you want to use the new operating system, I'm afraid, you need better and more recent material.

HP 15-g041AU: downgraded Win8.1 to Win7 and now need help to find the drivers
I didn't like Windows 8.1 and demoted Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, all drives in the formatting process. Now, I don't have some drivers and I don't know which ones to download because there are like 2 identical types of drivers for everything on the page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-15-g000-notebook-pc-series/6545564/model/7234521
In Device Manager there are 6 things with yellow! s
- Ethernet controller
- Network controller
- PCI device
- PCI encryption/decryption controller
- SM Bus controller
- (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller
I don't know if I'm supposed to provide the device ID or hardware ID so tell me please provide any ones.
And also additional things that I think are related to drivers
- Function keys do not work, so I can't change the brightness while now the fn + f2/f3. What is the HP System Event Utility driver?
- "The current video card can supoprt Aero with a driver that is compatible with the driver model (WDDM) Display Windows. I just do the graphics drivers on the page I put up? And who? Or is not serious?
- See also the information system > components > display, is intended to be generic llike "" Standard VGA Graphics adapt "what is that its meant to be or will they have specific network adapters after I installed some drivers?"
- Under components > Modem, there is nothing there
- Under components > Ports > series, there is nothing there
- Under components > USB, it says "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" rather than something more speciifc.
I compared these to my laptop which has fairly specific things written under these articles, so I'm assuming that they are to do with the right drivers? I just threw these here in the case where theres more underlying issues.
Also how one I would go about installing these drivers because the USB ports do not work? The pilots put it on a CD?
I'd appreciate any assistance because without them, my laptop is essentially unusable. Thank you very much.

Re: Lack of Win7 drivers for my laptop Satellite
Hello
I bought a Satellite with Windows 8, but when I installed Windows 7 so I can't have a Wi - Fi.
I went to the Manager of periferics and saw this USB bus controller and SM bus controller network controller are not installedI can't find them in the download page of resources for this laptop.
Where can I find these drivers?
Thank you
Not all phones come pre-installed with Win8 or Win8.1 are supported for Win7. I m wondering really you did not check this until you have made the decision to remove the preinstalled OS.
I just hope that you created the recovery DVD or USB media that you can use for the installation of original recovery image.I put t know what model do you have exactly, but did you check the download page for Toshiba under http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?

Win7 drivers for HP Pavilion 15-n225tx
Hello, the laptop that I just bought didn't come with a driver CD and came pre-installed with Windows 8. I downgraded to Win7 64 bit and finds it difficult to install the drivers. In Device Manager, the following is uninstalled:
3D video controller
Ethernet controller
PCI device
SM Bus controller
Universal Bus (USB) controller
Unknown device
I installed the HP Wizard but it only detects the update for NVIDIA, but every time I install it says "You must install the drivers first Intel." I have successfully downloaded the Bluetooth, wireless LAN and Flash of the BIOS of the support but the rest of the drivers are not there. Thank you.

It is not a good idea to downgrade Windows 8.1 machine to Windows 7. I don't know why users will need to do this hard: backwards. Windows 8.1 is much, much, much better than Windows 7. In any case if you want to stick with Windows 7, please suppy material for the missing devices id. The following link will show you how to get the id of the hardware:

Satellite L955-10f - need help with uninstall Win8 and install Win7
I'm now totally fed up with the Mickey Mouse Windows 8 OS and want to return to Windows 7. I have a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L955-10f. Should I use the recovery disk to get rid of W8?
Is there a way I can get a recovery for W7 for this machine disk in case it is needed in the future? I'm not technical, so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Right there is big problem with this machine. I ve checked the download page of Toshiba and this model is not supported for Win7, it will be difficult to find the right drivers, tools and utilities.
This model is designed for Win7 Toshiba doesn't offer Win7 recovery disc.
This is a rather complicated situation. The first thing you need to do should now create Win8 recovery media using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.I put t know what to say. Maybe you have someone with an excellent knowledge of PC and who can help you with this. Material of your machine should be compared with other models may be supported, so you will be able to use the drivers, tools and utilities available for these models.
