| Windows 7 Pro 18 posts | Installing Windows 7 on a ACER laptop I have ACER Aspire 1652 laptop which was preinstalled with XP it has a Centrino 1.73 G and 2 GIG of memory installed and 80 gig hard drive and I want to install Windows 7 but ACER do no longer supply any drivers for Windows 7 for chipset, graphics, LAN drivers for Windows 7. Does Windows 7 have the necessary drivers? Kind regards, Walter |

| Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc 15,045 posts CT | I cananot guarantee that 7 will have every single driver, but I have to rate the driver service as excellent. Very few have had problems in that area. Be sure to install while on line. |

| Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit), Win 7 Pro (32-bit) 1,272 posts N. Calif | I can't say for your specific laptop but I recently installed Win 7 Pro on my Acer Aspire One A0A150 netbook. Acer did not have any Win 7 (or Vista) drivers available on their website for it. Win 7 installed drivers for everything except the multi-card reader but I was able to find a driver for that and install it to make my netbook 100% functional in Win 7. |

Hello Walter, welcome to Seven Forums! You should be able to run that in compatibility mode for Windows 7, it's worth a try; have a look at how in the tutorial at the link below and be sure to post back with any questions you may have and to keep us updated.

| Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 17,871 posts Florida in winter, Black Forest/Germany | Hmm, that does not look too promising. Maybe you can get away with some work arounds and some of the Vista drivers. But it will only be really clear once you tried it. You could make a "test installation" without activating Windows 7 at first and see what happens. I believe you could operate that way for 30 days. Then at least you can reuse the product key on another PC later in case it does not work out. |
