    Currently running vista 32 and I want to upgrade to windows 7 64 but on the dell device driver's page there is no support for windows 7. Only XP and Vista drivers are listed. Will the drivers automatically update through Windows 7 or do I try to find the drivers myself? Anybody who has done this have any problems?

    should still work, You may need to use some vista 64 drivers - but should all load ok, also there is driver compatibility mode which helps further

    You can use the Vista x64 drivers. It should work. I know, cause I did. ;)

    Even better is Psyloid's site:
    www.psilo.be
    These drivers are special for Windows 7 x64 and up to date.
