    Question. Did a clean install of Windows 7 on a SZ780DN. The integrated Intel video driver on esupport is version 7.14.10.1244. Windows 7 has a native driver of version 8.x which is newer. So should I keep the bundled Windows 7 driver, or "downgrade" to the Sony esupport one. Thanks,

    Keep the bundled, MS is working hard to try and keep drivers up to date automatically.
    Something Sony has never really done.
