It should install them automatically, but its always a good idea to have them on hand in case you need them..

Windows Seven comes with a ton of drivers for a lot of different hardware. Some are generic drivers that the hardware would be better served by going directly to the manufaturers site for updated drivers and others are fine. You can run the windows upgrade advisory tool to find out ahead of time if your going to run into any issues. Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - Download - Microsoft Windows Once you have installed the Ultimate check your device manager to see if you have any yellow triangles on items if so you can post a snip of them here and we can help you find the drivers for that piece of hardware http://www.sevenforums.com/general-...ed-method-uploading-posting-screen-shots.html Welcome to seven forums Fabe
