    HP Pavillion dv3 with no drivers apart from Windows 10?
    « on: May 03, 2016, 02:08:11 PM »
    I have a Hp Pavillion dv3 205oea and have just done a reinstall of Windows 10 on it. The problem is I cannot find any drivers for it anywhere, so I'm wonder if it will be ok to run it with just the Windows 10 drivers it installed? The Windows 10 64bit display driver was my main concern and the chipset drivers, but like I said I can't find them anywhere. Thanks!

    Do you have an Internet connection?
    Windows 10 will find the right drivers my itself.
    Do you have any resewn to think it does not have the right drivers?
    This is from Microsoft:

    While it's likely you already have the most recent driver, if you're having trouble with a device, you can try fixing it by updating the driver or reinstalling it. Here's how:
        Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.
        Expand one of the categories to find the name of your device, then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select Update Driver Software.
        Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
        If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.
    Did you try that already?

      I do have an internet question. I never knew Windows 10 installs all the drivers you need, I thought I would have to use the manufacture drivers. I don't have any yellow exclamation marks in device manager though.

      As the article suggests, Windows now does most of it automatically. You can try and see if Windows will find a better driver.
      Are you having any trouble? Does the graphic device work good? Did  you run some graphic benchmarks?
      This is popular for testing a video card performance.

        I have a 1920 x 1080 screen I plug into my laptop, but it only displays at the same lower Resolution as the laptop. That's the only problem I'm having, but I can live with it.
