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.

(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)

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)
