Hi. I have a HP Envy H8 1549 which came with windows 8. I recently got a new SSD and decided to install windows 7 on it. I've taken out the old HDD that came with the win 8 OS. I noticed the SM bus drivers were missing after installing, and had taken a few steps to update the driver but to no avail:
1) Used the windows automatic update to automatically search for drivers online
2) Tried the official HP website for my specific computer; it didn't complete the installation process because it was incompatible. It was for windows 8, but that was the only option - I figured I tried at least.
3) Downloaded Intel's Driver Update Utility - it picked up absolutely 0 drivers whatsoever
According to HP specs, the chipset that I should look for drivers is under Z75? The only thing I found online with an exact match from Intel was a whitepaper saying how fancy it is. The closest driver downloads I found was 'DB75EN', which I don't think is the right chipset. I tried downloading that anyways, but I couldn't get past the TOS agreement button. Clicking on it does not yield a dl link. It just sits there, mocking me... No adblocks were used. I think maybe the webmaster is on vacation...
Am I not looking in the right places? I haven't checked out any other websites as I don't know if any of them are legitimate. Any and all help are appreciated. Thanks.
