    yo guys im kinda a noob at this but i was wondering if people with the new envys can use the beta drivers (12.6/12.7). Right now all we have are HP drivers with bareminimum optimization with switchable graphics. I was wondering if i would be able to install these so then i can get full CCC +switchable graphics. What is the worst that can happen?


    Thanks in advance!

    errrr.... the worst that could happen is for him to have to uninstall the drivers clean and install the HP ones.
