How to use this page
Device Driver Guide does not host installers. Read the family page for the hardware you own, work out which package applies to your exact model and Windows edition, then use the official-source citation provided for that decision. A component-branded family may still require the company that built your computer or motherboard rather than HP; follow the declared package source on the family page.
Reference coverage is recorded separately for each family in the comparison below, not as one compatibility list for this manufacturer. These labels describe the scope of the reference, not certified compatibility or continuing Windows support. Confirm the exact device or PC model, hardware revision, Windows release, and package requirements with the manufacturer before making a change.

Audio & Sound
HP delivers onboard audio as an OEM package pairing the codec driver with HP's own tuning and companion apps for its laptops and desktops. The tuning assumes the speakers and firmware of a particular HP product, so a mismatched generic driver often loses features like speaker optimization.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceBluetooth
HP ships Bluetooth drivers tuned to the wireless module in each of its consumer and business systems, from lightweight notebooks to all-in-one desktops. As with other makers, the radio may be Intel, Realtek, or another vendor, so the value of the HP package is that it pairs the right radio and firmware for your exact model.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact radio or peripheral model, package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceModems
HP Connection Optimizer (also described by HP as HP Sure Connect) is listed for supported computer models and can automatically recover the driver of a communications device that has stopped functioning. That narrow description does not establish SIM, APN, cellular-switching, or radio-band controls, and HP Mobile Connect is a distinct name whose availability must be checked separately.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact model, hardware revision, package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referencePrinters
DeskJet is HP's entry-level home inkjet line, typically compact all-in-ones for occasional printing and scanning. Current models are usually set up through HP's modern setup app, which installs the driver and configures the network in one flow, while older units still use a downloadable full package.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referencePrinters
ENVY is HP's home inkjet line positioned for photo and everyday printing, sold almost entirely as all-in-ones with a scanner. As with other current HP consumer printers, the setup app installs the driver and scan components together for the detected model.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceBiometrics
This is the fingerprint sensor HP builds into many of its laptops, often set into the palm rest or the power button, to enable Windows Hello sign-in. HP validates the driver against each system and sometimes pairs it with fingerprint controller firmware, so the download tied to your exact model or serial number is the one to use.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where the exact PC or reader model lists support
Read the full family referenceGraphics & Video
HP's OEM display drivers are validated against the specific GPU, panel, and firmware combination in each HP system, which matters most on hybrid laptops. Using HP's build avoids the display-switching and power quirks that a mismatched generic driver can introduce.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where the selected package lists this GPU or PC model
Read the full family referenceKeyboards
HP Hotkey Support is the driver that makes the brightness, volume, and airplane-mode keys work on HP laptops, and it displays the matching on-screen overlays. Without it those keys are inert or type the wrong action.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceCard Readers
The card slot on HP's EliteBook, Pavilion, and ENVY machines runs on an integrated controller whose driver HP publishes per product number. Because the same silicon appears across many HP models, the correct build is the one listed against your specific unit rather than a generic part driver.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceEthernet & LAN
HP lists integrated-LAN packages by product or serial number on its support site. Device Manager may identify the underlying Realtek or Intel controller; compare that identity with the package details and Windows version.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact controller, hardware revision, system or board package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceWebcams
HP's integrated cameras, often branded TrueVision, are the lid cameras in HP laptops, driven by HP's imaging software and, on many models, an accompanying Windows Hello infrared component. Enter your HP product number to get the imaging and, where applicable, IR packages for your machine.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where the exact camera or PC model lists support
Read the full family referenceBiometrics
This is the infrared camera HP fits into the display bezel so Windows Hello can recognize your face even in dim light. It appears as a separate camera entry from the ordinary color webcam, and Windows Hello needs the IR entry specifically.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where the exact PC or reader model lists support
Read the full family referencePrinters
LaserJet is HP's long-running laser line, from small single-function printers to multifunction office units and shared fleet machines. Fleet deployments frequently use a universal print driver rather than a per-model package, while home and small-office units take the model-specific full software.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceModems
HP has used lt-series names for mobile-broadband options in selected systems. Enter the exact product or serial number and verify that the listed Wwan package names the installed module and Windows release.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact model, hardware revision, package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceMonitors & Displays
HP's display range runs from its Series 7 and E-series office monitors to OMEN gaming panels, and each has a monitor software and color profile package located by product number. Installing it lets Windows read the panel's full capabilities and apply HP's intended color.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceNetwork & Wi-Fi
HP lists network packages by product or serial number, while the installed Wi-Fi and Ethernet controllers can vary by configuration. Compare the package's device and operating-system applicability with Device Manager.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact adapter, system or board model, package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceScanners
This is the scan side of HP's multifunction printers, from home ENVY inkjets to office LaserJet units. The scan components arrive inside HP's full feature software for the specific printer, so installing only a basic print driver leaves scanning missing.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referencePrinters
OfficeJet covers HP's home-office inkjet all-in-ones, with document feeders and faster output than the DeskJet range. HP's setup app handles installation and scanning for most current OfficeJet models, pulling the correct driver for the unit it detects.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceStorage & NVMe
HP provides storage and chipset controller drivers for its EliteBook, ProBook, and Pavilion systems as an OEM package chosen by product number. This is the source most likely to work well for the controller driver on an HP machine, since it is tuned to how HP configured the storage.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact drive or controller package
Read the full family referenceScanners
ScanJet is HP's standalone scanner brand, covering both flatbed units and feeder-driven document models used across offices. They run through the HP Scan application, which manages resolution, file format, and feeder options for the specific unit.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceTouchpads
Spectre and Envy are HP's premium consumer lines, and their touchpads are typically larger glass precision surfaces that lean on the Windows precision path. The package HP validates for these models tunes palm rejection and gesture behavior for the wider pad.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceBios & Uefi
HP system firmware covers the EliteBook, ProBook, Pavilion, and OMEN families, supplied only by HP as a signed package matched to your product number. It runs the platform initialization for these business and consumer machines.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact model and firmware package
Read the full family referenceMotherboard Chipset
HP ships customized chipset packages for its prebuilt desktops and laptops, aligned with the board and firmware in each configuration. Because HP boards carry their own descriptors and power settings, the model-specific package is the often the better choice over a generic silicon-vendor download.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact platform package
Read the full family referenceUSB & Thunderbolt
HP may list platform, Thunderbolt, USB-C, and dock downloads by exact computer or accessory. A controller package and dock firmware can be separate, and support for display, network, USB, or charging depends on the computer port, dock, cable, power supply, and Windows release.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact controller or device package
Read the full family referenceTouchpads
HP validates touchpad drivers across its laptop range, packaging the Synaptics or Elan sensor in a build matched to each model. Depending on the machine this may be a vendor clickpad driver or the precision path, so HP's model-specific package is what sets the correct one.
