Windows xp/vista drivers on W7?
Last response: in Windows 7
Hey guys,
My brother has a old Pavilion s7520 that he refuses to get rid off.
It was infected with every virus known to the world and still used Windows XP so I figured just installing Windows 7 32-bit was the best solution for both his pc and my time.
Anyway, after the reinstall I checked HP's site for drivers on W7 32-bit, there was one (for Lightscribe). So I thought Windows update would handle all the drivers.
Unfortunately it did not. Device Manager also doesn't work.
There are multiple Windows XP/Vista drivers for the desktop on the HP site, though.
So my question is: Will the drivers properly work on W7? And would you guys recommend I use the Vista drivers or the XP drivers?
Help would be much appreciated!
