Hewlett-Packard provides these packages as all-in-one driver solutions for laptop owners. They do the work of ensuring that all of the individual drivers are compatible and up-to-date so that you don’t have to. While it’s always a good idea to keep PC drivers current, it is particularly important with the HP Envy 14-1210nr. This model has reputation for getting hot under load and having a twitchy touchpad, and the driver updates that Hewlett-Packard released improved these situations.

This is the official driver package from HP. Each of the drivers contained within has either been developed by HP engineers or has been approved by them. That approval is important because it ensures you that the drivers are compatible. Incompatible drivers will lead to a nonfunctioning or malfunctioning notebook at best, and at worst, it can lead to permanently damaged components.

Hewlett-Packard provides an automated process. The driver package is an executable. Run it, and then, you may have to give it administrator privileges. Beyond that, installation is mostly hands-off. The program will detect your operating system, specifications and so forth, and then, it will install the appropriate device drivers. This process generally only takes a few minutes altogether.

Note that Hewlett-Packard also provides a driver utility that assists with installing these packages. It was provided with your computer and can also be downloaded online. It is not included in this package. It is optional but may be advisable since it can help you ensure that this package is the most current one available.

It is up to the user to ensure that these are the appropriate drivers and the latest versions of them. Failure to do that could lead to problems that are not the fault of this driver package.
