Cannot connect H8-1409 to ethernet in windows 7

[Brenden]

I've recently installed windows 7 to my HP ENVY H8-1409 which also runs windows 10 (dual boot). The problem I have now is I cannot connect to the internet via wifi or ethernet. I look in my device manager and it says some of my drivers need to be updated but my computer cant find them. when i look online for the drivers matching my computers model number and windows 7, i have no luck. Can only find for windows 8 and 8.1. I imagine it is because the computer was Windows 8 from the factory, but i feel there should still be a way around this issue.



Thanks to everyone in advance!

have you tried here? the win8 drivers may be backward compatible for win7
