How do you guys get Win7 to use your own drivers?
Howdy,
Been upgrading several workstations on site and noticed that Windows 7 behaves quite differently in terms of driver installation vs say - Vista.
In Vista - it was great - run setup...it completes...Vista loads up with the most basic of basic drivers and then I would go to town installing my specific ones.
In Win 7 - I run a fresh setup via DVD and finally get to the desktop - I see that Win7 has already jammed in some "stock" version of the nVidia drivers (185.xx). Which then I have to spend a bunch of time messing around uninstalling this and that - essentially rendering my nice fresh tidy install - not so nice and tidy
In my case - I have a specific certified graphics driver that I want use on each fresh install - is it as simple as unplugging the LAN cable during setup so Windows cannot use this stock nVidia driver or is that driver packed on the DVD and gets installed no matter what?
Appreciate any insights...
Cheers!
