    hi, 6 months ago my cousin cutom made me a desktop pc 32 bit zp pro. It was a gigh end spec machine built as a destop gaming pc, designes to vruv Steam games((dowlodable pc games) on high mode/settinh. From he builot it, it has had a vareity of hárdwe failre, thar my cousin has failed to bfix. He has told m e that his is certain iit is a motherboard failurw and has sent for replacemen. If replacing mb does not slve it, I am giingm to swallow my pill and buyy a shop bought high end pc mostly wit 7. My questions is will all my current periherals work aytomatically on a 7 machine?

    windows 7 is usually very good at finding drivers for most devices (at least it has been for me) there are always some that require a bit more attention to get them working though.

    the easiest solution is to get the device drivers for windows 7 from the manufacters website and install it prior to connecting the device at least that way you could find out if the manufacter even supports it in windows 7.
