Windows 7 drivers for a1730N desktop

Hello-

I have a desktop HP a1730n and that you want to upgrade to Windows 7, but the drivers for this product support page says that Windows 7 is not a supported operating system.  Does this mean I can not upgrade my computer to Windows 7?  Will Windows 7 drivers here in the future and if so when?  The pilots current Vista works with Windows 7?

Thank you.

Hi efish,.

Let me see if I can answer all your questions. When there is no drivers on your HP software & driver page, it means that HP is currently not drivers for this operating system for your PC model. Sometimes it's because of the drivers HP are not made or tested on systems that are not designed for any other OS, and sometimes, that means that HP got not only to provide drivers for this OS for your PC. In your case, because your PC is two years old, it's probably HP doesn't provide Win 7 drivers for your PC. But this does not mean that you cannot upgrade to Windows 7 on your own with a new installation of Microsoft. Many of your drivers will be charged by the Win 7 system, but for those devices that do not work after the installation, you can usually find the drivers on the web site of the original equipment manufacturer. For example, if you have an NVIDIA graphics card, NVIDIA.com will provide a driver Win 7.

Your current Vista drivers will probably not work in Win 7, but it is difficult to say with certainty because some software and drivers are compatible, so it's really a case by case basis. But it is best to just assume that they work and then find the drivers that you know will be.

Now, to help you find the drivers for your PC. Here are a few that you will probably need if you upgrade to Windows 7:

Chipset & Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 6150 THE

Sound - Realtek ALC 888 (select "High Definition Audio Codecs" and go to the driver with your Win 7 driver page).

Oh and for reference here is a copy of your specifications a1730n.
