Hey guys,
So i am at a loss. I purchased a HP Pavilion g6-2264ca last summer for work and absolutely hated 8.0. As such i thought it would be a great opportunity to try out ubuntu. However after installing ubuntu I could not get my network card to work, connect to the internet, use usb etc.
Next I tried windows 7 and of course the same thing, as I found out that the laptop does not have the required drivers to operate on anything other than windows 8. So now I am stuck.
I cannot find any drivers that will allow me to use the laptop with windows 7, and of course I cannot reinstall windows 8 because I do not have a internet connection on the laptop to download windows 8 and my other computer cant even create a windows 8 install disk without a valid product key, which of course I do not have because the laptop uses a OEM key in the bios.
Any suggestions? or know where I could get the proper drivers? I could burn them to a disk and then install them on the laptop, I just have no idea where to find them or where to look.
