I bought a pre-installed Windows 8 HP Elite 7500 Base Model Microtower PC. I downgraded it to Windows 7 after a clean installation. now I couldn't find a solution to get the network working. I downloaded and installed the Network drivers from HP website. Still the LAN connection is showing as "No Connection"
Any help will be highly appreciated as this is a Company PC.
Note: Its Windows 7 32 Bit.

Thanks for the quick reply Johnn. but 32 Bit is the Company standards.
Anyways, I got it working. It seems funny if you come to know the steps.

First downloaded the drivers from HP Website.
Then Installed it- Restarted the PC, Didn't work
But the funny part is, I got into device manager and browsed for the downloaded file and selected it.
Installation was successful and I got the Network. :p

Ramseed, what did you do to install the Win7? I cannot get it to work with a clean Win7 dvd (not the HP version).

Download the drivers from HP website.
Do not directly install it. Just go to device manager and select the downloaded drivers to install it.
