Windows7 Help.

So i was thinking of installing windows7.

Do I need special drivers? Such as graphics, Motherboard, ect.

Thats pretty much I'm worried about.

Nope. Almost all of the drivers bundled with Vista are included in Windows 7.
If you need a special driver, the Vista one is compatible.

Awesome thanks, so vista drivers is a green light for windows7?

thnx in advance!!! off to l4d!!!

Yup. All Vista drivers are compatible with 7. (Except for a few special cases). You'll be fine with video cards, NICs, sound, etc

in fact, most video drivers and sound drivers i have needed lately have their own section for windows 7, so you will be fine. I would suggest you keep a seperate partition or drive with vista on it so if you have an emergency you are not left out in the wind.

I use Windows 7 with all the stuff in my signature, if that info helps you any. Everything worked by default.

Windows 7 rocks. Just install and go. Very stable. Enjoy.

ok so far, i installed it. One problem, i'm stuck on the ATI CCC, it wont load up, even though it says in task manager

try removing it and reinstalling. if that doesn't work just uninstall it and install the basic drivers for your card. it's not necessary at all and i find it takes up more system resources than it's worth.
