Details
I recently installed Windows 10 on an HP Elitebook to see how well the most recent Windows 10 build performs. Adobe flash player for windows 10. The Elitebook is a fairly recent model notebook which includes an assortment of hardware technologies. Out of the box though I did not get a complete system, for instance the Intel HD Graphics 3000 was not detected and I was instead limited to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.
Apart from this, I had wi-fi ready, which mean, I could connect to the Internet right away.
Installing drivers through Windows Update
Windows Update is the premier starting point to resolve most common driver issues you might experience immediately after installing Windows 10.
Simply launch it from Start > Settings > Update and Recovery and click Check for Updates
or
Press Windows key + R
Type: ms-settings:windowsupdate
Hit Enter
Click Check for updates (make sure you have an active Internet connection).
Immediately, Windows Update will detect your system configuration and download all the appropriate drivers for your system. As you can see in the above screenshot, my Intel HD 3000 Graphics was installed automatically. I did not even have to reboot the system. In addition to other hardware components were also detected and installed which includes my LAN adapter and card reader.
Important Drivers you should get after installing Windows 10.
When you perform a new install or upgrade, you should download the latest software drivers from the manufacturers website for your computer model. Important drivers include: Chipset, Video, Audio and Network (Ethernet/Wireless). For laptops, make sure you download the latest Touch Pad drivers. There are other drivers you will probably need, but you can often download these through Windows Update after have a working Internet connection setup.
How to find and download drivers from the manufacturers website:
Drivers can normally be found in the Support section from the manufacturers website where you will find a Software and Drivers sub-section. The method to find it will vary depending on the brand. You can go to your favorite search engine then enter the following query 'model and make drivers download' example: 'hp 8460p drivers download'. This will often provide a direct link.
Normally, you might not find native Windows 10 drivers. If this is the case, use the latest Windows drivers available for your model. So if they only have Windows 7 drivers, try using those. Make sure you download the right drivers for your architecture (32 or 64 bit).
Proceed to download the appropriate drivers after selecting your version of Windows. The manufacturer might list two versions of the driver, always choose the latest.
Again, the procedures will vary, but as long as you can find the drivers and download section, normally available within Support, you should be able to get to the drivers. If you are reading this before upgrading, try having the essential drivers in advance.
Install drivers using Device Manager
If your driver was not detected or installed by Windows Update, you can try installing the driver manually if you have a compatible version. Windows 10 and previous versions of Windows such as Windows 7 share the same driver model, so it should work.
Press Windows key + X
Click Device Manager
Once device manager is open, select the device, right click it and click Update Driver Software
This will launch the update driver software wizard, which presents two options.
- Search automatically for updated driver software - its possible Windows might have the driver software if you have not checked it yet, if its taking too long, then the next option is usually best.
- Browse my computer for driver software - if there is a compatible driver and you already have the driver files, then all you need to do is point to it and Windows automatically install it for you.
Here I have selected to use an existing driver, browse to where the driver is located on your computer, whether that is a partition, network share, thumbdrvie or install disc. Make sure the option to Include subfolders is checked.
Click Next and wait while the wizard completes the installation.
Using Compatibility Mode to Resolve Driver problems
If both Windows Update and driver update prove unsuccessful, the next option is Troubleshoot Compatibility. Troubleshoot Compatibility provides a simple way to make older drivers work under modern versions of Windows by making the driver believe it is being installed on a supported version of Windows.
The first thing you need to do is point where the setup files are located. If you are installing from a thumb drive or CD/DVD. Launch File Explorer (Windows key + E) and open the location where the setup files are stored.
Right click the setup file for the program, this can be designated as setup.exe or something similar. Click Troubleshoot Compatibility
This will launch the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter wizard which will check for issues.
Select the option 'Troubleshoot program'
Depending on the problems you are experiencing when attempting to install or use the software, check off the problems. In my case:
- ‘The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run now'
- The program requires additional permissions.
Simply launch it from Start > Settings > Update and Recovery and click Check for Updates
or
Press Windows key + R
Type: ms-settings:windowsupdate
Hit Enter
Click Check for updates (make sure you have an active Internet connection).

In the cases I have seen where this has happened to customers, the underlying problem was that setup detected that the.NET Framework 2.0 was already installed and skipped that prerequisite step. Since then, I have heard from several customers who have run into similar issues during Document Explorer 2005 setup.After thinking through these scenarios in more detail, I realized that it is more likely that Document Explorer 2005 setup will fail with a 1935 error than it is that Visual Studio 2005 setup will fail with a 1935 error because Document Explorer is installed as a prerequisite before setup ever tries to install Visual Studio. Therefore, if the.NET Framework is in a bad state (which is generally the cause of these 1935 errors), then the first place it will typically be seen is in Document Explorer setup because that setup package needs to be able to install assemblies to the GAC and requires a functional.NET Framework 2.0 installation on the system to be able to do so. http://boyconfevil1975.mystrikingly.com/blog/add-a-blog-post-title-f795f7ef-afac-4cb1-8502-9a0305ef3809. If Document Explorer setup fails, Visual Studio setup will not even be attempted.Even though this is a bit of duplication from my previous post, I want to list the steps that can be used to workaround this issue with Document Explorer setup in case folks run into this issue.IssueWhen Document Explorer 2005 setup tries to install assemblies to the GAC, it may fail because the.NET Framework 2.0 is not correctly installed on the system.
Proceed to run the through the programs setup routine by clicking Test the program….
Follow the on screen instructions to install the program as you normally would.
If all is successful, click the option at the end of the wizard ‘Yes, save these settings for this program'
Wait while your settings for the program are saved.
