Hi I am frustrated. I have changed my laptop the new one is HP Pavilion 17-f002na
It is running win 8.1 I want to run win 7 ultimate but for some reason the network driver from HP will
not work in win 7 I have tried the driver from my other laptop HP Pavilion 17-f030sa which worked on both
windows OS 7/8/ 8.1/10
Can anyone help please. The driver is Broadcom 802.11 and blue tooth.
