Win 7 upgrade from Vista for VAIO laptop VGN-S38GP
I wish to do an upgrade to my old VAIO laptop VGN-S38GP. I DO NOT want to contribute to the mountains of e-waste destroying the planet as we write !!!
I performed such an upgrade using an OEM installation disk I purchased for a now, dead PC. This went OK, but it is sadly deficient in some drivers. I have tried configuring a number of devices from the original Vista CD, but some do not work at all, despite using the appropriate compatibility options.
I have read that there WAS an upgrade path offered by SONY, if one applied for same, whereby they sent the applicant a special Windows 7 upgrade disk. I didn't know about this at the time.
My question is:
Can anyone help me with configuring working drivers for my new Win 7 installation?
OR
Help me to find a copy of the iso for the Win 7 upgrade disk for this model VAIO laptop ?
A supplementary request is: can anyone help me locate a valid 'VAIO Care' package for this m/c from a source that isn't riddled with malware and viruses ?
The SONY support websites yield NO drivers or useful information, for this model, anywhere in the world
All help would be gratefully received and acknowledged on this forum.
Thanks in Advance,
MD
