Windows 10 Installation

The device for this is a bit old as this was the Broadcom bcm43xx driver which only went up to Windows XP and Windows 7. If you want to install the Broadcom bcm43xx driver into Windows 10 then you have to do it differently. See below how this is done on Windows 10 as well as on Windows 11.

Download the ZIP file below which was originally released by HP as well as by Lenovo. This is the HP version of the driver. Note that this driver was released in 2012 but will still work on a Windows 10 machine. Download the ZIP file below and then extract the content of the ZIP file.

There are the directories once they are extracted. Now double click on the Win7 directory. You will then see the following:

You will see in the directory that there is an INF file near the bottom. Now you will need to right-click on the file and then another menu appears. In this menu it shows “Install”. Windows 10 will then install the driver onto your computer. The Windows 10 OS will then tell you that it found new hardware.

It will install the Broadcom bcm43xx driver onto your computer. You will then reboot your computer if that is needed. Most times a reboot is not needed to make the driver work of the INF install. This is very easy to complete the installation. There are not updated drivers for this hardware when it was released in 2012. This is a work around to the Windows 10 problem.
