    It would be very unlikely.

    For example, Samsung released some Windows 8 drivers for notebooks originally shipped with Windows 7 but did not provide Windows 8.1 versions for those models.

    Fortunately, unless MS does another massive rewrite like they did with W8.1, I think most drivers should still work in W9. Graphics may be an issue, but those can usually be obtained from the OEM. Same with Intel wireless. But the touchpad and settings are a slight cause for concern. Maybe someone can give it a test on the beta next month.
