We have the model of desktop computer at work. Unfortunately, the vendor's web site isn't always the most accommodating source when it comes to device drivers. If at all possible, try to find another HP Z420 that is up and running with Windows 7 x64. Copy the %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\DriverStore folder to a DVD-R or and external USB drive. Once you have it, you can temporarily attach it to your computer, right-click each problematic device and select Update driver software.... Browse to that DriverStore folder, and each device will be installed successfully.
