I have got HP 250 G6 Intel Celeron Dual core, as a Gift.

Details of the Laptop ( *www.amazon.in/HP-3XL40PA-15-6-inch-Screen-Celeron/dp/B07BSL468F )

Now i intend to use this Laptop for my business where i need to Install customized software which Supports only Windows 7 x86.

I did searched lot of compatible Driver for my Laptop. I Just need the Chipset Driver (USB etc) and Wifi or Network drivers.

I am looking for experts who are kind enough to help me.

I'm very much afraid you're out of luck there. HP officially refuses to support Windows 7 or 8 for this particular machine. To quote the HP manual,

"NOTE 3: In accordance with Microsoft’s support policy, HP does not support the Windows 8 or Windows 7 operating system on products configured with Intel and AMD 7th generation and forward processors or provide any Windows 8 or Windows 7 drivers on HP Support for Technical Help and Troubleshooting | HP® Customer Service.."

The full manual from which this is taken is available at *m.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c05488706.pdf


Edit: One possible option is running windows 7 in a VM (like VirtualBox)

After trying Drive Booster, Driver Talent and Snappy Driver Installer (Even Downloaded the driver pack 12+GB). I could Manage Network, Display and Sound.

Now i'm stuck only at USB. If i can get my USB working, then thats enough for me.

^^ASRock---Installing Windows 7 on Intel 100 / 200 / SoC and AMD AM4 series Platforms create a patched win 7 cd/usb install & then right click on missing driver devices in device manager & select update driver & then manually give path to patched cd/usb drive.
