    Alright so I did that and after clicking the executables for the graphics driver I got a "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"

    and for the realtek HD audio driver I got a "Install Reaktek Audio Driver Failure Error Code: -0001"

    Absolutely insane that im dealing with this from the Official drivers from the HP's site

    Either you downloaded the wrong drivers or HP linked the wrong ones.

    Just double check what are you doing and eventually get the drivers elsewhere

    I just used Snappy Driver Installer and everything works now. Absolutely mind numbing that a third party driver installer does better than the Official OEM's Website
