Windows 7 upgrade - what drivers, thinkvantage Centre etc?

Hello

I just got the computer (with XP that was a mistake, darn-it) and ordered to Windows 7.  I'm ready to do a clean install, but what happens to all the drivers installed and software Lenovo?

    I see a few drivers who seem to support various programs of HP that I won't not after doing the clean install from the disc of Windows 7.

    Oh and also, I was in a new rather than provided with the computer graphics card. What makes me not sure if I will have 'Original NVIDIA Unified Graphics Driver' and 'Original Intel Graphics Driver'.

  • Aspire x 3950 - after windows 10 upgrade dvd/cd drivers missing

    After upgrade windows 10 cd/dvd drivers disappeared. Microsoft technicians have worked on this for 4 days could not find the problem. Can't argue with acer because the product is not under warranty. Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, I don't have a recommendation on how to solve this problem, other than to go back to the previous installation of Windows. You can try to ensure that all Windows updates are installed. If that doesn't fix it, my best suggestion is to roll back. Given that this system was not qualified to upgrade the windows 10, we offer 10 Windows drivers for this product.

    Maybe someone else will have a suggestion on how to make it work you can try.

  • IM using Windows XP Profesional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 and what would be the cost?

    upgrade windows xp to windows 7

    IM using windows xp profesional can I upgrade to windows 7 and what would be the cost? what I have to put all my files on an external drive then uninstall windows xp then put in windows 7 then put back my files? is that how its done? Thank you.

    First the cost, you must know if your hardware can support Windows 7

    In General win 7 should a minimum og 1 gig of ram (for 32 bit) or 2 for 64-bit, and it needs a video card 256 MB or greater.

    If your less and can not be updated it may be best to start thinking about a new computer.

    If the above is ok there are various offers for win 8, but make sure you buy form a reliable site of Ms.  There are a lot of current scams.

    Good luck

    The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?

    Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation?  A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new.  If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.

    In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista.  Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

    As indicated in the question, I bought an anytime upgrade in store today. I use a 32-bit version of Vista. The pack did not come with a cisd, but that a cd key with instructions to enter the Windows Anytime Upgrade, and then select enter an upgrade key. This option is not there. The only option that IS there is 'compare the editions of Windows Vista.

    My question. What now? I got back and beg you to take this if I buy a new kit of Windows 7 at home, or what I ultimately throw it and waste $130 and buy another back pack?

    Hello

    1. from which store did you purchase Anytime Upgrade?

    Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for Windows Vista. See this.

    If you're running Windows Vista and want to upgrade your PC, go online to upgrade to Windows 7.

    I would recommend that you contact Microsoft (if purchased from a legitimate source) Store with your concern.
