    I bought a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate to reset my old HP dc7900 Minitower PC.
    I'm currently on Windows 7 Enterprise x86 and want to custom install Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
    The only thing is that there are no Ultimate drivers on the HP website for my PC:
    HP Compaq dc7900 Convertible Minitower PC*-* Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center
    So my Question is:
    Can I use Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Drivers on Ultimate x64?
    Please Help me!
    Thanks in advance

    Please check out the link I posted. I dont know which drivers to choose
    Did you install win7 x64 ulitmate already? If so:

    Is your network card driver already installed, so it is able to find the updates?
    "check for updates" and install them. Reboot as requested. check again until all has been installed.

    What other devices or devices with question marks are now listed in "device manager"? Driver Install - Device Manager

    Short answer
    Yes you can use windows 7 drivers from other editions only difference is 32bit or 64bit.
    you can use windows 7 enterprise 64bit drivers on 64bit home permium, pro and ultimate.

    There may be some limiting factor but I never seen one.

    No I didn't install it yet but after vaidas3's answer it won't take that long until so.
