HP Laptop Windows 7 So heres the deal
I have an HP Pavilion dv7-1264nr laptop
It has Windows Vista 64 Bit with blu ray player and a whopping ATI Radeon HD 3200 2 gb total graphics video memory
becuase it is an HP, HP gives it a bunch of things in it
one thing is the HP Total Care Advisor
it is like amazing cuz it gives updates for every single thing in the computer
The problem is that i dont know if i clean install windows 7 on the PC will i be able to stil have all the HP things and i remember when i first opened the computer it started with an HP first time setup, not a Windows Vista one. Will this happen for windows 7?
I really love the HP things on this PC and i am wondering if they will be there.
I went from Windows Vista to WIndows 7 on my Sony and had a couple things i had to go back and download from sony's website and am also wondering if it will be as simple as that if i can download everything i need later from their website or sometihng.
thanks | My System Specs |

I'm pretty sure you won't get those options because the HP options came with the computer. You'd be getting the same ISO everyone else gets, regardless of your computer.
The HP options are unique the the OEM disk you may have recieved with the computer, afaik
And i'm not sure about the downloadable content from the HP site.

Having a HP model laptop, I know for a fact that you will not get those features if you did a clean install. If you still want those features an upgrade will be required. =|

Can you download these features somehow? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Vostro 1000 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x86 CPU AMD Sempron 3600+ Graphics Card ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 Monitor(s) Displays Generic PnP Monitor Screen Resolution 1200 x 800 Mouse Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse Hard Drives WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB (WD5000BEVT) |

Can you download these features somehow? Fair enough, I suppose.
I contacted HP at one point to find the location of these files, I can scavenge them up if needed I suppose.
EDIT: I would just need a list of what HP Specific, programs would be wanted/required. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom | Whitebox OS Windows 7 Ultimate, OS X 10.7, Ubuntu 11.04 CPU Intel E6750 @ 3.80GHz Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L (Revision 1.1) Memory 2x2GB & 2x1GB (6GB) OCZ Reaper 1066MHz @ 1080MHz Graphics Card EVGA nVidia GTX 260 896mb (216 Core) FTW Edition Sound Card Realtek ALC888 Monitor(s) Displays 21" VIZIO TV Screen Resolution 1680x1050 @ 60Hz Keyboard Logitech Wireless S520 Mouse Logitech Wireless S520 - Microsoft Wireless Arc Mouse PSU Corsair 750W Case NZXT Nemesis Elite Cooling Thermaltake SpinQ Hard Drives Western Digital WD6401AALS - 640GB

EDIT: I would just need a list of what HP Specific, programs would be wanted/required. Just an update for my prior post;
I downloaded/installed HP Health and HP Update. I know for a fact my laptop is not up-to-date. HP Healthcheck (notebook version) - Does not launch even with compatibility settings. HP Update - Launches and 'appears' to work.
I was however unable to find HP Total Care as a separate download, apparently, according to HP.. It is not in an 'installer' form. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom | Whitebox OS Windows 7 Ultimate, OS X 10.7, Ubuntu 11.04 CPU Intel E6750 @ 3.80GHz Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L (Revision 1.1) Memory 2x2GB & 2x1GB (6GB) OCZ Reaper 1066MHz @ 1080MHz Graphics Card EVGA nVidia GTX 260 896mb (216 Core) FTW Edition Sound Card Realtek ALC888 Monitor(s) Displays 21" VIZIO TV Screen Resolution 1680x1050 @ 60Hz Keyboard Logitech Wireless S520 Mouse Logitech Wireless S520 - Microsoft Wireless Arc Mouse PSU Corsair 750W Case NZXT Nemesis Elite Cooling Thermaltake SpinQ Hard Drives Western Digital WD6401AALS - 640GB

I read some place that HP is working closely with MS for the "special" software. I have an HP mini and the bluetooth/wifi card had software to turn both or one off at a time and it didn't install in 7 HP upgraded the bios firmware to make it work which I am about to go download and test now. It also fixed some keyboard problem that I wasn't even aware of. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware M17x R3 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Core i7 2670QM 2.2GHz 3.3GHz Turbo Mode Memory 12GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz Graphics Card 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon 6990M Sound Card Audio Powered by Klipsch Monitor(s) Displays 17.3-inch WideFHD 1920 x 1080 60Hz WLED Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Alienware multi color keyboard Mouse logitech G300 gaming mouse Case alienware laptop case Cooling Dual heatsink and fans Hard Drives 120GB SSD slot 1

What if i backup all the HP program files on to an external hard drive then put them back or will it not work because its not technicaly installed.
or
i found a website where i can download it - Here-, will it work?
i went to hp website and to the support and drivers for my specific laptop and i found some stuff like drivers for the webcam and stuff, would things like those work after a clean install?
Upgrading is my last resort
