HP Workstation woes


WWGangster

Recommended Posts

Guys. My wifes cousin gave my son a 3 year old HP Z420 workstation and I am having a ridiculous time getting the drivers for it. The website says to use the model number or serial number.......i have both but it doesnt recognize it. So I cant connect to the internet to let the HP driver assistant search for the damn drivers.

I installed windows 7 64

Any ideas?

Product number is F8K43US#ABA

Serial number is 2UA4181S1H

EDIT: took a break to go sit in "the reading room", and I wondered, what do you see when you open device manager? Win 7 usually installs some drivers, you don't have anything installed for the HP onboard modem? If a generic driver got installed, is it just that Win doesn't have the proper settings to connect the browser to the internet?


I didn't find anything either. Install the free Win 10 and see if it has any generic drivers that it can install to get you on the interweb?
