    Hi to all

    Just ordered a used laptop VAIO LAPTOP Signature Collection VGN-Z790DND from ebay . It was installed with Windows Vista. If I would like to install Windows 7 from ground up, may I know do I need to install the downloaded Windows 7 64bits driver in any particular order ?

    For instance I have something like vaio updates, sony firmware extension parser device, Sony Programmable IO Control Device etc, do I need to install them in any particular order ??

    Please kindly advise.
