Hewlett-packard Hp Compaq Dc7800 Drivers
Hello,Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome!I am afraid there are no official Windows 10 drivers for your computer as it is too old model created long before Windows 10 was even in the MS plans.Officially, your computer only supports Win 2000, XP, Vista, 7Please, note that Windows Vista and 7 are still under active support by Microsoft. Windows 7 is stable and reliable OS with support till year 2020 and is the preffered business operating system (based on current statistics at the moment). I'd recommend you continue using it on this PC.As for Windows 10, if you insist on trying it, you may want to test.Do create a back-up of all your files on external media.You can get Win 10 Enterprise edition and test it for free for 90 days Once you install Win 10, you can try to update drivers for network, sound, video, chips, etc. Using the Windows Update method or Device manager. Here is how Although HP does not officially support or offer drivers for W10 for this device, Microsoft may have drivers and the device might work on Windows 10 (no guarantee).
If it works, you can use it. If not, just restore back your previous copy of WIndows or preferred OS.If you need details on how to prepare Win 10 installation media, how to back up your files or something else, please post again and I'd provide details. Let me know if this works for you. I,:I never actually tested the ethernet connection on my dc7800.It is too far away from my router, and I have to use USB wireless network adapter.But as you stated, in the device manager, it looks perfectly OK.I don't have a long enough ethernet cable to even test it out to report the results to you, or I would have.I do have a dc7900 SFF running W10 connected by ethernet cable, and that works just fine.That one has the Intel 82567LM GbE Network Connection though.I take it you tried the latest W7 driver directly from Intel? If not, you may want to give that a try.
My personal computer at home is a HP Compaq dc7800 SFF but it's been upgraded a lot over time. I have Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit) running rather smoothly on this.At my workplace, we have some computer of the same model but windows 7 enterprise.Anyway, the other day one of my colleagues found a BIOS update for the model. This made me look at my personal home PC to check the BIOS, which I found out is not the latest version.
So I went onto the HP website to download the BIOS update, but under the 'operating systems' drop down menu, Windows 10 is not listed. Hello @Craig582, thank you very much for your post to which our consultant has replied. State of war game buy. Let us know if you have questions or require additional information.##############HP Compaq dc7800 Base Model Small Form Factor PCHP Compaq dc7800 SFF is not supported under Windows 10 due to its age.
