Re: [Vista] Is Vista compatible hardare also Windows 7 compatibl
*HERE* Windows 7 is working on a 2004 Sony VAIO that never had Vista drivers available.
Only XP Home drivers.
Everything needed to make the machine work is accepted and working with all builds past 7100.
Running well with bulid 7229 as I type this.

In my case, Windows 7 has been more compatible with my hardware than Vista. I have an old Zoom serial modem that I use for caller-id that wouldn't work with Vista, yet Windows 7 recognizes it as a Lucent modem (which the chipset is.) My son as an old scanner that wouldn't work with Vista, yet it works with Windows 7.
I can't say about the wireless adapter, but there's a good chance it will.
If you have enough drive space, make another partition for Windows 7 and give it a shot. You may as well while it's free and you really have nothing to lose. |

| [Vista] Is Vista compatible hardare also Windows 7 compatible?
I want to try out Windows 7 on my spare desktop. It has an old Netgear wireless adapter that is not Windows 7 compatible. I would like to get a USB wireless adapter. The Zonet ZEW2500 is Vista compatible but not listed on the Windows 7 hardware compatibility list.
In general, will Vista drivers work with Windows 7? |
