I as of late introduced Windows 10 on a HP Elitebook to perceive how well the latest Windows 10 form performs. The Elitebook is a genuinely late model journal which incorporates a variety of equipment advances. Out of the container however I didn’t get a total framework, for example the Intel HD Graphics 3000 was not identified and I was rather restricted to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

Aside from this, I had wi-fi prepared, which mean, I could associate with the Internet immediately.

Installing drivers through Windows Update

Windows Update is the chief beginning stage to determine most normal driver issues you may encounter following introducing Windows 10.

Quickly, Windows Update will distinguish your framework design and download all the fitting drivers for your framework. As should be obvious in the above screen capture, my Intel HD 3000 Graphics was introduced consequently. I didn’t need to reboot the framework. Notwithstanding other equipment segments were additionally identified and introduced which incorporates my LAN connector and card peruser.

Important Drivers you should get after installing Windows 10.

At the point when you play out another introduce or redesign, you ought to download the most recent programming drivers from the makers site for your PC model. Significant drivers include: Chipset, Video, Audio and Network (Ethernet/Wireless). For workstations, ensure you download the most recent Touch Pad drivers. There are different drivers you will most likely need, however you can regularly download these through Windows Update after have a working Internet association arrangement.

You can go to your preferred web crawler at that point enter the accompanying inquiry “model and cause drivers to download’ model: ‘hp 8460p drivers download’. This will regularly give an immediate connection.

Regularly, you probably won’t discover local Windows 10 drivers. If so, utilize the most recent Windows drivers accessible for your model. So on the off chance that they just have Windows 7 drivers, have a go at utilizing those. Ensure you download the correct drivers for your design (32 or 64 piece).

Continue to download the fitting drivers in the wake of choosing your adaptation of Windows. The producer may list two forms of the driver, consistently pick the most recent.

Again, the procedures will vary, but as long as you can find the drivers and download section, normally available within Support, you should be able to get to the drivers. If you are reading this before upgrading, try having the essential drivers in advance.

Install drivers using Device Manager

In the event that your driver was not distinguished or introduced by Windows Update, you can take a stab at introducing the driver physically on the off chance that you have a good form. Windows 10 and past variants of Windows, for example, Windows 7 offer a similar driver model, so it should work.

This will dispatch the update driver programming wizard, which presents two choices.

Investigate Compatibility gives a basic method to make more established drivers work under present day forms of Windows by causing the driver to trust it is being introduced on an upheld rendition of Windows.

The first thing you need to do is point where the setup files are located. If you are installing from a thumb drive or CD/DVD. Launch File Explorer (Windows key + E) and open the location where the setup files are stored.

Continue to run the through the projects arrangement routine by clicking Test the program… .

Adhere to the on screen guidelines to introduce the program as you regularly would.
