iv got vaio FW490jab laptop with vista home premium OS i formated windows partition and installed win 7 home premium instead. both are 64-bit OS NOW i wanna install drivers and i wonder if should install vista home premium drivers( since my orginal OS is vista) or win 7 home premium drivers
please help me through this
Install all availabe Windows 7 drivers for your model. Look on your PC manufacturers drivers page for the list.
If there aren't any Windows 7 drivers for some devices, Vista drivers should work.
The most important part is finding the x64 drivers.
Here's the driver page for your Sony laptop. Just select what version of Windows 7 you are running.
And remember...You want the x64 drivers list.

thanks a lot for quick answering and also suggesting website.
so im gonna install all win7homepremuim 64-bit OS drivers and if thay didnt exist looking for visat drivers that is what u meant
Yes that's about it..
After having a quick glance... All of your drivers should be available under the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit category.
Oh... and you're welcome... If you have anymore questions feel free to stop by and ask.
this website which u suggested only has the vista home premuim drivers would u please tell me where i can download win se7en drivers for my model ?
are these vista drivers compatible with win 7 or not?
You need to select Windows 7 from the dropdown list,
