If My Laptop Is Originally Vista And Now I Want To Install Windows 7 Does My Drivers For My Devices Work In 7?
I have a vista laptop and I want to change to window 7 but the I don’t see any driver that will say that it will support windows 7so does that mean if it says it support vista then I am good?
I’ve installed Win 7 on both an XP and Vista PC. I had a lot of driver problems installing the 64-bit version, but none with the 32-bit version. If your Vista PC is using the 32 bit version, you probably won’t have any problems. If you are using the 64-bit Vista, hopefully the drivers will import cleanly into Win 7 RC. You might be better waiting until October and installing the commercial (RTM) version although it isn’t much different from the RC.
yes. Windows 7 only uses Vista driver loader. So any driver working in Vista will 100% work in windows 7
Any driver not working in vista 100% chance it wont work in windows 7
I found this on the internet somewhere but I forgot the site.
Dont install windows 7 though since it stops working on some date when the beta expires. But I can guarantee that the drivers work.
Windows 7 should find drivers for most of your devices like cameras, keyboards, mouses…
If it cannot, then go to the manufacturer’s website and manually download first the Windows 7 driver if available, but if not the Vista drivers.

Umm u shouldn’t have many problems. Just make sure u download them off of the companies websites when u get windows 7. It’s not officially supported yet so some will be missing.
yes you can update any vista computer to a windows 7 OS
