Acer extensa 4220 Windows 7 Drivers

 Please read first, i installed several windows 7 operating system in old acer model and I found that only certain driver is missing, NOT ALL. So here is the driver list so that you can install the driver you needed. Important thing to keep in mind is IF the driver is working properly do not install the driver again. Example your audio and wifi is working, do not install it again because windows already installed generic driver for the device.
For your information, in acer website they only provide 3 drivers for windows 7 for this model which is infrared, fingerprint and card reader.
If you want to check which driver is missing in windows 7 you can check out my tutorial here:

ANOTHER STEP TO INSTALL DV2000 Drivers:

You can simply install all your drivers using the original vista drivers. To do that follow this steps:

1. Download you vista drivers on Hp download page.
2. Install all the original vista drivers, ignore the error because it will extracted the file we need into c:\SWsetup which we will need it later.
3. Open Device manager and right click on device marked with yellow and select UPDATE DRIVERS.
4. Select Browse my computer for....
5. Click browse and point to the SWsetup folder.

Normally it will work, sometimes it will not install the audio and graphic. Both audio and graphic base on my experience need a MOD driver instead of using manual installation above.

HP Pavilion dv6-6016tx Windows 8 Drivers

 HP Pavilion dv6-6016tx also known as HP Pavilion dv6-6016tx Entertainment Notebook PC is one of the HP pavilion DV6 series. It use intel chipset and AMD drivers. There are DV6 model which HP release official windows 8 drivers for it, but this model isn't one of them. The good news is most of the hardware is similar to the one that already tested by Hp so theoretically it will work. The drivers also tested by few users who reported which drivers work for them.

Note that if the driver not labeled with windows 8 32 bit or 64 -bit mean it is compatible with both architecture. 
Some drivers like Wireless have more than one drivers, so you have to choose base on the laptop specification. If you didn't know which to install test which work for you. Installing wrong wireless driver wont harm your system, but make sure to uninstall previous wireless driver from control panel before continue to test with another wireless Driver.

It is a common problem with Hp model which use ATI a.k.a AMD(current name) Graphic driver wont install even it is officially released by HP. So here i put other5 alternative drivers in case the first driver didn't work.
