Using Vista drivers for Windows 7
Hi,
This is a HP 6720s notebook and HP didn't release Windows 7 drivers for it.
If you check this list on HP's official webpage, it has all the drivers for this notebook.
This computer did came with Vista.
So far, I thought of 2 plans. Let see:
- Option A:
Revert to Vista. (All drivers are for Vista 32 bit, so the driver problem would be solved.) But I don't really want Vista, as 7 is better.
- Option B:
Use Windows 7 with ALL the Vista drivers. Probably in compatibility mode when required.
I'd prefer Option B, but I'm interested in your opinions. I wonder if there are advantages of using Vista on this computer instead of 7.
I know it's possible to use Vista drivers on Windows 7. You probably have more experience on this than I do. Are they usually OK? Are problems common? Is it recommended at all?
(We have already discussed the graphics driver HERE) as multiple graphics drivers are available on HP's website, but all the other drivers are for Vista too.
