    I am curious if anyone is running Windows 7 on a N81Vp-D1 laptop?
    If so, did you have to install many drivers?
    Any help on where to download Window 7 drivers for this series of laptop?

    I checked Asus website and Windows 7 is still not listed in the driver list because its not officially released.

    I just thought if anyone had tried and what they did for drivers?

    windows 7 drivers aren't currently available from the asus support site (that I can see) you'd need to use the vista drivers for your machine. just drag the drivers from the disc, to the hard drive after installing, and run each one in compatibility mode.

    Dude... HAHA thats weird. I just checked 2 days ago or so and there was no Windows 7 (x64bit) drivers and now all of a sudden there posted :p
    I wouldn't have started this thread topic but they just got posted. Cool!

    Thanks for the update.

    EDIT: Can someone recommend which drivers are HIGHLY recommended to install?
    There are so many which I don't think I need as some are junk and useless to me, but I may be wrong...
