Thanks for help thus far.Sounds good, Todd:
If you can get online then Windows Updates should provide the rest of the drivers when run to completion. If any are still missing after all arounds of Updates then find them on the Support Downloads webpage of the device maker. Unknown Devices can be traced with Hardware Identification. In rare cases you may need to use the PC's OEM Vista driver to goose Windows Updates to provide the updated Win7 driver. We can advise you on any or all.
My issue is with the LAN driver so I can get online straight away. On my laptop support page, I can only see the LAN driver for vista - http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/pro...-FZ38M/updates
How did Sony update from Vista to Win7? They should have provided you with an OEM or retail Product Key along with the disk. They're not even allowed to sell the OS without doing so. This may need to be addressed to their Tech Support or MS Customer Service. However any but a factory preinstalled SLP key (which you would not have under those circumstances) can indeed be audited by a keyfinder so it should work as long as you used the exact same version.
Basically had a problem with the battery, so sent in to sony. Came back with win7 instead of vista. No discs or anything so like I said I just used magic jelly bean and found a product key that differs from the one under the laptop.
I'm glad you're committed to getting a perfect install and we will have your back until you achieve just that. That's a specialty of these forums since before Win7 was even released, and the tens of thousands of users we've helped do them have the best installs of Win7 in the world.
