Compatibility reminder: some versions of Windows 10 may already have a newer compatible driver through Windows Update. Prefer a working, compatible driver over installing an older package simply because it appears in this list.

How to choose the correct driver

1. Check Windows edition and system type

Open Settings or Control Panel and check the Windows version and whether the operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit. The Windows 7 graphics entries are architecture-specific; do not install the 32-bit graphics package on 64-bit Windows or vice versa.

2. Identify the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapter

Open Device Manager and expand Network adapters. If the adapter name identifies Intel, choose the matching Intel wireless package; if it identifies Broadcom, use the Broadcom package. If the device appears as unknown, open Properties → Details → Hardware Ids. The vendor ID VEN_8086 is Intel and VEN_14E4 is Broadcom.

3. Check graphics and optional hardware

Look under Display adapters in Device Manager. Install the Intel graphics package that matches the selected operating system and architecture; install the AMD package only if the laptop has AMD graphics. Fingerprint, touchscreen, smart-card, Sierra Wireless mobile broadband and card-reader packages are optional and apply only to units equipped with the corresponding hardware.

4. Install in a sensible order

  1. Intel Chipset Installation Utility, then restart.
  2. For Windows 7, install the Intel USB 3.0 package if needed.
  3. Intel graphics, followed by AMD graphics only if fitted.
  4. Audio, Ethernet, then the matching Wi-Fi and Bluetooth packages.
  5. Hotkey, touchpad/mouse, fingerprint and card-reader packages that match your hardware.
  6. Optional utilities last. Update the BIOS only when there is a specific reason and after checking HP's instructions for the exact product.
BIOS safety: BIOS updates carry more risk than ordinary drivers. Confirm the model and current BIOS version on HP Support, connect AC power, ensure the battery is charged, and do not interrupt the update. If the laptop is working correctly, a BIOS update may not be necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Installer says the device is not supported: the package may be for a different wireless adapter, graphics configuration, Windows version or architecture. Check Device Manager and the official HP page before trying another package.
  • Screen resolution is wrong: install the chipset package, restart, then install the correct Intel graphics driver. Add AMD graphics only if present.
  • No Wi-Fi after reinstalling Windows: use Ethernet or another computer to obtain the driver, then choose the Wi-Fi package that matches the adapter in Device Manager.
  • Function keys or wireless button do not work: install the appropriate HP Hotkey Support and, where applicable, HP Wireless Button Driver package.
  • Fingerprint reader is missing: confirm which sensor is installed. Synaptics WBF and Validity are different packages; skip both if the laptop has no fingerprint reader.
  • A download fails: search the SoftPaq identifier on HP Customer Support. HP may move or replace legacy download packages.

HP EliteBook 840 G1 Driver FAQ

Can I use Windows 7 drivers on Windows 10?

Use the Windows 10 section first. Do not assume that a Windows 7 driver will work on Windows 10. Install only a package that HP lists as compatible with your operating system and device.

Why are there several Wi-Fi or Bluetooth packages?

EliteBook 840 G1 configurations can contain different wireless adapters. Identify the exact adapter in Device Manager and install the corresponding package; you usually do not need every wireless package in the list.

Should I install both Intel and AMD graphics?

Install Intel graphics first. Install the AMD graphics package only if your laptop has the separate AMD graphics hardware and the package matches your Windows version.

Which fingerprint driver should I choose?

The supplied list includes Synaptics WBF and Validity fingerprint packages. They are not interchangeable: check the device in Device Manager and install the driver that matches your sensor.

Do I need to update the BIOS?

Not necessarily. Update it only when required for a specific fix or when HP recommends it for your issue. Verify the exact product and read the manufacturer's instructions before proceeding.

Where can I verify the latest official driver?

Use the official HP EliteBook 840 G1 driver page. HP's available downloads and supported Windows versions can change, so treat this page as a guide to the supplied SoftPaq list rather than a guarantee that every item remains current.
