I had the misfortune of my laptop getting exposed to water and my HDD stopped functioning due to water damage. I bought and installed a new SSD and downloaded a copy of windows 10 from the official website and installed it on my new hard disk.
Now I have several problems since I have done that, some things stopped working properly. the WiFi keeps disconnecting on it’s own (sometimes a couple times a day and sometimes every 10 minutes) and also the fingerprint reader doesn’t work.
my laptop used to run on windows 7 before, i tried downloading the drivers from HP website (I thought that’s where the problem was) but a lot of them couldn’t even be installed an error message shows that says ‘the contents of this file can not be unpacked’ and there are no other drivers on the HP website intended for windows 10.
I have also tried some fixes like making sure the option was disabled in power management for allowing the computer to turn off the network adapter to save power. also changing the advanced power settings to make sure the wireless adapter settings were set on maximum performance. I have no idea what the solution is to get my laptop working properly again or where the issue is.
My laptop model is HP Pavilion dv6 7070se and previously ran on windows 7
