HP TouchSmart Iq800 series driver question

[mike boss]

Posted this in software but it may be better suited here.

This is perhaps a stupid, novice question..... but none the less I'll ask.

I have an opportunity to pick up (locally) a 27" HP touch screen (with the PC).
This is the model and specs : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01568268
Here is the video drivers : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4062&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3809131#N257

It's used and as per the seller the monitor works but the hard drive is pooched. I don't need the PC, BUT I'll take it.
The PC is an hour plus away, the seller is elderly. He said I can test the monitor, and I plan on bringing my laptop and a monitor cable (with VGA/DVI adapter).
So I was wondering if I install the DRIVER-DISPLAY/MONITOR would this allow the monitor to function as a touch screen on my laptop ?

EDIT - I just noticed that this an all in one PC. No actual physical tower, everything is in the monitor itself. This now adds greater concern as to weather or not it will work on it's own.

EDIT - I also reviewed all the other drivers available, I saw none that related to the monitor (as far as I can tell).
EDIT - I will however download the ambient light driver. That will give a nice punch to my project.

Looking at some videos online it just became clear to me this is an ALL IN ONE PC.
Seems all the internals are in the monitor.
The seller says machine was serviced at Staples and told the hard drive was wiped clear by a spike.
The machine was used solely for pictures, never going online.

I had intended to use this for a jukebox project using a different PC.
My initial concern was could I simply install the drivers onto a PC then have the monitor function correctly as a touchscreen.
Now looking online I see the unit has no VGA/DVI input.
My concern is swapping the hard drive might not resolve the issue then I am out the money.
