I wanted to get a Compaq Presario C713NR from Best Buy, but they were already sold out. But I did talk to a rep about the drivers. Here is his email on the drivers. Just follow the directions and you're good, it's very important thought to follow the directions the rep said:
Thank you for contacting
HP Total Care.
As promised earlier, here is an E-Mail with all the drivers included.
