    Hallo I'm trying to install 7 on my 2530p. I checked on HP we site but no official drive for this OS. So I called the support and asked for more details. They said that there's no driver for the moment. Soon they will relase them. Now they suggested to use the vista buisness 64bit driver using the compatibility task. My question is about which driver should be installed and what is unnecessary.
    thankyou

    What drivers are missing?
    Did you install Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?
    Run Windows Update and install all Important Updates.
    Then check for the "Optional" Updates and install everything except for the 34 language packs. Then check Device Manager for what is missing. If you installed 32bit version of Windows 7, then go to your driver page for Vista Business 32 bit and install what is needed (Quick Launch, Wireless Assistant, AMT Driver, Camera Driver, Modem etc)

    You shouldn't have an issue finding all the drivers.

    After installing Windows 7 x64 on my 2530p I let Windows Update install all of the drivers it had. Once that was done I had to install the following drivers

    HP Quicklaunch Buttons

    ADI SoundMAX AD1984A Audio Driver

    Synaptics Touchpad Driver

    AuthenTec Fingerprint Driver

    HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth Wireless Technology

    HP Wireless Assistant

    HP 3D DriveGuard

    Intel AMT Driver     <-- this one needs to be installed using Vista comparability mode.

    These are all Vista x64 drivers from HP's download site.

    As for video drivers these are the newest available from Intel
    Win7 64-Bit v15.15.6.64.1892 dated 09/08/2009
