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.

Recommended Operating system, base on the specs this model is suitable to use with:
-Windows 7 64-bit
-Windows 8 64-bit

Recommended upgrade:
-Replace current HDD with solid state drive.
-Upgrade RAM to 8GB

Compaq Presario CQ42-359TU Drivers

 Hp officially release windows XP and Windows 7 drivers for this model. Here is the re-compose that i make adjustment to the drivers list:

1. Drivers that listed in windows 7 but not in windows XP:
- Broadcom bluetooth
- Broadcom Wireless
-Quick Launch Button

2. No webcam driver@software available so i added from the HP sources.

3. I did not list the BIOS because it is not for end user but for advance user. This step is to make sure end user safety.

4. GRAPHIC - in windows XP you have only 2 driver which izcs AMD and Intel graphic, while in windows 7 you have 3 including Intel 4 series chipset graphic drivers. To my understanding, there are m,model which use dual graphic, but sometimes for some models the dual graphic only enable in windows 7 and not in windows xp. In this case I'm not certain so i didn't add the Intel 4 series graphic on the list. The driver however available on intel download and support center.

5. Windows XP - Intel matrix storage technology replaced in windows 7 with intel rapic storage technology.

So, i edit the driver entry for both to have similar drivers list for both windows xp and windows 7.

Additional Notes:

Why there are no official driver release for windows 7 for this model?
It is become the HP/Compaq way to tell user what OS you should use with the model you have, so if there are only driver officially for Xp release mean your laptop only can be use with windows XP. However they not directly prohibit you to use other OS, but you will need to contatct them for technical issues such as compatible driver and other setting.
