    Windows 7 OS install (need help)

    im in need of a little assistance on how i should go about resolving the driver issues i will be having upon installing Windows 7 on my Compaq Presario C751NR i will be attempting to do a dual boot installation but im not sure were i can find the necessary drivers.

    ive checked out my manufacturer's support section of the site and its final they will not be releasing Windows 7 drivers for my system.... haha but i dont think that will be stopping me.

    any ideas or link for the correct drivers will be much appreciated :) thanks alot for your time guys

    why not look in device manager now and make note of what you think you will need.
    Given the age of your laptop, you should be ok using the standard MS drivers for pretty much everything.
