I purchased the above HP notebook 6 months ago and have grown to hate Windows 8 with a passion. I knew for a rookie like me it would be difficult to "downgrade" from 8 to 7 ultimate, but Microsoft was kind enough to accept my order for windows 7 ultimate and then advise me 3 weeks later when I called them, that they had no windows 7 products available and did not anticipate getting any. I went online, found and purchased Windows 7 Ultimate retail in a matter of 30 minutes for less that MS had quoted me for Windows 7 Pro.
I got HP technical help to get through the Bios issue and was able to load the Win 7 program.
Now, however, without the drivers for this software, which Microsoft no longer supports, of course...I am dead in the water.
If this notebook was so expensive and loaded with a huge hard drive, 16 Gig of memory etc, I would have taken a loss selling it and bought one with Win 7.
Can anyone help with drivers for this HP ENVY dv7t quad edition? Thanks

If it had Win8 Pro (or above) you may 'down'grade to 7 - so the drivers do exist for 7. Maybe they are the same as 8 (64bit and x86 maybe)

It may even be worth doing 'get a new version' from Control Panel if you are below the 'down'grade threshold.
