The Windows Hardware Compatibility Program (for Windows 10) and the Windows Hardware Certification Program (for Windows 8/8.1 and older operating systems) enable you to design, create, and test your hardware and drivers before you submit the final version through the Partner Center. For more information, see the Windows hardware certification page. By certifying your hardware device, system, and drivers for Windows, you gain the support of Microsoft marketing resources in the form of compatibility and reliability listings, logo artwork, and promotional partnerships.
The driver download area could be called by any of several different names including Downloads, Software Downloads, Driver Downloads, Drivers, Drivers and Firmware, Drivers and Software, etc. If you visit a website's home page first, look for a Support area. Any driver download options will probably be located within that area. Download the latest drivers, software, firmware, and diagnostics for your HP products from the official HP Support website.
To develop your device, download the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).
To test your device, download the Windows Hardware Lab Kit (Windows HLK) for Windows 10.
After you develop and test your product, you can submit the results with a hardware submission.
Note
We strongly encourage you to include public driver symbols as part your HLK package. See Public Symbols and Private Symbols to learn how to create public symbols.

, all files and INFs within the submission must be compliant with the appropriate attribute(s). For example, a merged HLK package can contain two driver sets for different OS certifiations. If one set is Declarative and another set is not, the entire submission would be marked as Declarative=False
. INF only packages will have Universal greyed out as there are no binaries to validate. Each set should be separated into two submissions to ensure they are marked appropriately.
