    First of all I want to thank you for the splendid job with finding the drivers!
    The explanation from HP is that Intel is not making x86 driver for Intel Graphics for N processors series.
    But thankfully there is always a workaround ;)

    I want to add something that I have encountered as well.
    While installing Intel Trusted Execution Engine Interface Driver, Code 38 and Code 28 came up as an Error on that driver in Device Manager.
    I managed to remove that problem with installing Kernel-Mode Driver Framework v1.11 (KB2685811)

    Regards,

    I'm glad I could help someone by uploading these. I spent a full afternoon searching for these drivers all by myself. I never thought I could find all of them, especially because some of them didn't install until you forced them in Device Manager. Then I thought why not to upload these as it's a new notebook model out there and maybe I'm not the only "crazy" person that wants Windows 7 x86 on this machine, in order to play older games, use older 16-bit apps and avoid some disadvantages of the 8.1.

    By the way, this is a really nice notebook. The integrated into CPU graphics card is powerful enough to play Half Life 2. It's about the same as my older GeForce Go 7600 from my dv9000 HP Pavilion. The best thing is that it doesn't overheat at all, even if it doesn't have a fan, making the device quiet all the time.

    Also, I made the recovery disks of stock Windows 8.1 Bing for this machine. There are 3x4.7GB DVDs. I created the ISO images of them, so if anyone needs them, please let me know as it's pretty hard to upload almost 14GB of data online and I've never accomplished this before.
