Once you have downloaded and successfully installed the drivers, your hardware will work perfectly fine because you have got drivers from the actual manufacturer of your hardware. But if for any reason that driver doesn’t work, try using a Windows Vista driver. Vista drivers often work in Windows 7 because these two operating systems are similar to each other, in cases like this there will not be an updated Win 7 driver.
