Please let me know if this page needs to be updated.
Acer Drivers (Desktops and Notebooks)
Windows 7 drivers available for Acer desktops or notebooks can be downloaded via Acer's Service and Support site, linked above.
Acer provides many custom Windows 7 drivers for their PCs and laptops but much of the hardware will be installed using the default drivers in Windows 7.

AMD/ATI Radeon Driver (Video)
The latest AMD/ATI Radeon Windows 7 driver is the AMD Adrenalin 19.10.15.05 Suite (Released 2019-05-22).
This Windows 7 driver from AMD/ATI contains the entire Catalyst suite including the ATI Radeon display driver and the Catalyst Control Center. This Windows 7 driver is compatible with most AMD/ATI Radeon HD series GPUs, including the R9 series and newer HD series chips.
There are 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this Windows 7 driver available, so be sure to choose the right one.
ASUS Drivers (Motherboards)
ASUS Windows 7 drivers can be downloaded via ASUS's support site, linked above.
ASUS has made available Windows 7 drivers for most of their motherboard lines including those based on AMD, Intel Socket 775, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, and more.
I did a quick spot check on several of ASUS's motherboards and all of them showed both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 drivers.
ASUS also manufactures servers, workstations, notebooks, and other computer peripherals, but they are most known for their motherboards. You can look for Windows 7 drivers for your non-motherboard ASUS product on their website.
If you're wondering if your 'older' ASUS motherboard has Windows 7 drivers, ASUS keeps a list here: Windows 7 Compatible ASUS Motherboards.
BIOSTAR Drivers (Motherboards)
BIOSTAR Windows 7 drivers are listed on BIOSTAR's download page, linked above.
BIOSTAR lists many of their motherboard lines as passing WHQL testing with Microsoft, including those based on Intel 1155, 1366, 1156, 775, 478, and AMD AM3+, FM1, AM3, and AM2+ designs.
Many BIOSTAR motherboards may have passed certain Windows 7 tests but that does not mean that Windows 7 drivers are available from BIOSTAR. However, the motherboards listed should work as expected with native Windows 7 drivers.
C-Media Drivers (Audio)
Windows 7 drivers for products based on C-Media's audio chipset are available via their driver download page, linked above.
A lot of the drivers available for C-Media products appear to have been tested on the latest RC build of Windows 7, not the final version, but they should still work fine.
Windows 7 drivers are available for CMI8788, CMI8738, CMI8768, CMI8768+, CMI8770, and CMI8787, but Windows 7's native drivers might work best.
The Windows 7 drivers linked to here are directly from C-Media. A C-Media chip may be a part of your sound card or motherboard but it's possible there's a Windows 7 driver that's a better fit for your sound device from your actual sound card or motherboard manufacturer.
Compaq Drivers (Desktops and Laptops)
If any Windows 7 drivers are available for Compaq computers, they can be downloaded via HP's standard support site, linked above. Compaq is now part of HP.
Compaq's newer computers typically come with Windows 7 installed and, of course, have Windows 7 drivers available. HP's site may have Windows 7 drivers listed for older Compaq computers as well.
Creative Sound Blaster Drivers (Audio)
The most current Creative Sound Blaster Windows 7 drivers are listed on Creative's Driver Availability Chart, linked above.
Creative has made available Windows 7 drivers for many of their popular Sound Blaster products including their X-Fi, Sound Blaster Live, Audigy, and more.
Some Windows 7 drivers by Creative may be in beta. Please be aware that beta drivers may not always work properly and you should update as soon as final versions become available.
This page also links to Windows 7 drivers for other devices from Creative including MP3 players, speakers, headsets, webcams, and video cams.
Dell Drivers (Desktops and Laptops)
Windows 7 drivers for Dell desktop and laptop computers can be downloaded via Dell's standard support site, linked above.
Dell also keeps a list of their older computer systems that they have successfully tested with Windows 7: Microsoft Windows 7 Compatible Dell Systems.
eMachines Drivers (Desktops and Notebooks)
Any available Windows 7 drivers for eMachines desktop or notebook computers can be downloaded via eMachines' support site, linked above.
To see if your eMachines laptop or desktop PC is compatible with Windows 7, visit the link provided above and select the product Group, then Series, and finally the model number from the Products list. If 'Windows 7' is an option under the Operating System choices then your PC should support Windows 7.
If no drivers are listed for Windows 7, even though eMachines says your PC supports it, it just means that the native drivers available in Windows 7 will suffice for your computer. In other words, after installing Windows 7, you shouldn't need to update any of your drivers.
Gateway Drivers (Desktops and Notebooks)
Windows 7 drivers for many Gateway desktops and notebooks are available via Gateway's support site.
According to Gateway, their only advice for compatibility with Windows 7 for older computers is to check the minimum system requirements for Windows 7 and compare to your PC.
The native drivers that Windows 7 provides will likely work for the majority of Gateway hardware manufactured before 2009. Otherwise, Gateway will likely provide their own Windows 7 drivers via their support site.
HP Drivers (Desktops and Laptops)
Any available Windows 7 drivers for HP desktop, laptop, and tablet computers can be downloaded via HP's standard support site, linked above.
Many of HP's desktop and laptop PCs have Windows 7 drivers available.
HP has also published valuable information about the availability of HP printer and scanner drivers in Windows 7 (see the HP entry below).
HP Drivers (Printers and Scanners)
The best way to get Windows 7 drivers for individual HP printers and scanners is to visit HP Support, linked above.
Enter your product information on their support page to find Windows 7 drivers for your HP Deskjet, Officejet, Photosmart, LaserJet, Designjet, or Scanjet imaging device.
From this page, you can see if your specific HP printer or scanner will work from a native Windows 7 driver, via an update from Windows Update, or from a Windows 7 driver downloaded directly from HP.
Intel Drivers (Motherboards)
Windows 7 drivers for Intel motherboards can be downloaded via Intel's support page, linked above.
A quick check showed 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 drivers. The few motherboard driver download pages I looked at showed Windows 7 drivers for Intel's integrated video, audio, Ethernet controller, and more.
Intel also keeps a short list [here] of motherboards, released around the time Windows 7 was released, that fully supported the operating system.
Intel Chipset 'Drivers' (Intel Motherboards)
The latest Intel Chipset Windows 7 'driver' is version 10.1.1.45 (Released 2019-03-20).
Technically, these are not Windows 7 drivers. This update is actually an INF file update, which helps instruct Windows 7 how to identify and work properly with Intel chipset hardware like USB, Core PCI, and other integrated hardware.
This update applies to both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7.
The page linked to above also lists the Intel chipsets currently compatible with this update. Do not install this update on a motherboard with a chipset that is not listed.
Lenovo (Desktops and Laptops)
Windows 7 drivers for Lenovo desktop and laptop computers can be downloaded via Lenovo's support site, linked above.
Windows 7 specific questions can be asked on Lenovo's Windows 7 discussion board here. This is a great resource if you're having trouble finding Windows 7 drivers for your Lenovo product or having issues installing a driver.
Lexmark Drivers (Printers)
Current information on Windows 7 drivers for individual Lexmark printers is available from the list on Lexmark's site, linked above.
From this page, you can see if your specific Lexmark printer will work best with the native Windows 7 driver, with the latest Windows 7 driver downloaded directly from Lexmark, or with the latest Windows Vista driver, also available from Lexmark.
Several Lexmark small business and home office all-in-one and inkjet printers are listed separately from those linked above. You can access them here.
Microsoft Drivers (Keyboards, Mice, Etc.)
In addition to creating operating systems like Windows 7, Microsoft also produces hardware like keyboards, mice, game controllers, webcams, and more.
Microsoft hardware products with Windows 7 drivers are listed on their Software Downloads page, linked above.
Some of the most up to date Windows 7 drivers for Microsoft hardware may still be in beta. Please be aware that beta drivers may not always work properly and you should update as soon as final versions become available.
Microtek Drivers (Scanners)
Windows 7 drivers for Microtek scanners are available for many recent models and are downloadable from the link above.
At this time, it looks like Windows 7 drivers are available for several newer ScanMaker and ArtixScan models. Windows 7 64-bit drivers are only available for a few ArtixScanDI scanners from Microtek.
Microtek has no plans to release certified drivers for many of their older but extremely popular scanners. However, according to Microtek, many of their Windows XP 32-bit drivers work perfectly well in Windows 7, including those for popular models like the ScanMaker 4800, 4850, 3800, and more.
NVIDIA GeForce Driver (Video)
The latest NVIDIA GeForce Windows 7 driver is version 430.39 (Released 2019-04-23).
This Windows 7 NVIDIA driver is compatible with the NVIDIA TITAN series and GeForce 10, 900, 700, and 600 series desktop GPUs, as well as GeForce MX100, 10, 900M, 800M, 700M, and 600M series notebook GPUs.
NVIDIA 3D Vision, NVIDIA SLI, NVIDIA Surround, and NVIDIA Update are all included in this single driver suite.
There are Windows 7 32-bit drivers and 64-bit drivers available from NVIDIA. Take care in choosing the correct one for your system.
These NVIDIA GeForce drivers are directly from NVIDIA — the GPU manufacturer. An NVIDIA GeForce GPU may be a part of your video card or motherboard but NVIDIA only created the GPU. This means that it's possible there's a Windows 7 driver that better fits your hardware available from your actual video card or motherboard manufacturer.
Realtek AC97 Driver (Audio)
The latest Realtek AC97 Windows 7 driver is version 6305 (Released 2009-09-07).
This download contains both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this Windows 7 driver.
The Realtek AC97 drivers linked to here are directly from Realtek—the chipset manufacturer. The AC97 chipset may be a part of your sound card or motherboard but Realtek only created the chipset. This means that it's possible there's a Windows 7 driver that better fits your hardware available from your actual sound card or motherboard manufacturer.
I've listed various Realtek drivers separately because of their individual popularity.
Realtek High Definition Driver (Audio)
The latest Realtek High Definition Windows 7 driver is version R2.82 (Released 2017-07-26).
Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this Windows 7 driver are available.
These Realtek High Definition Audio drivers are directly from Realtek — the chipset manufacturer. The High Definition Audio chipset may be a part of your sound card or motherboard but Realtek only created the chipset.

Sony Drivers (Desktops and Notebooks)
Any Windows 7 drivers for Sony desktop or notebook computers can be downloaded via Sony's eSupport site, linked above.

VIA Drivers (Chipsets)
Windows 7 drivers for products based on VIA's Ethernet, audio, graphics, USB, and other chipsets are available via their standard driver download page, linked above.
To get started, choose Microsoft Windows for Step 1 and then Windows 7for Step 2.
The Windows 7 drivers linked to here are directly from VIA — a chipset manufacturer. A VIA chipset may be a part of your motherboard or other hardware but VIA only created the chip, not the complete device. This means that it's possible there's a Windows 7 driver that's a better fit for your hardware available from your actual device manufacturer.

Hi, Model No- HP Pavilion dv6330ea Notebook PC. Refer to the link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3411896& I am planning to upgrade my system from Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. As soon I install windows 7 professional, q1] can i connect to the internet and download all the updates laid by windows update
Download any important drivers from now before migrating. There is no direct upgrade path from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. So drivers and applications will need to be reinstalled.
OR do need to install first all the hp drivers and software and then download updates from windows update?
Download the manufacturer drivers for your model. If they have Windows 7 native drivers, download those, if not, use the Vista drivers. The important ones to download include Network, Video (Display drivers), chipset drivers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- q2] Please let me know step by step which one to install first. like 1] quick launch button, 2] nvidia, etc
Network, Video (Display drivers), chipset drivers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forget to mention last month i had the problem in power cable in my laptop so i have removed it But my quickplay button 'power cable' were working fine so i had replaced this cable with laptop power cable. At present i dont have power cable for my quick play buttons. i will buy power cable for quick play button later because it is very difficult to get in India for hp notebook and little bit expensive. q3] Will there will be any problem if i install windows 7 because of this?
If you power adapter is not working, you won't be able to do the install on battery power. Windows 7 will refuse to continue setup. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- q4] i need latest version of Intel Chipset drivers for windows 7 32-bit for my Hp Pavilion dv6330ea Notebook Pcs

This might only work for some components.

Follow nVidias advice and download the drivers from HP. As long as you get them HP, there should be no incompatibilities. Because if i revert back my system to vista (due to some reasons faced problems in windows 7) with HP vista recovery disk then will my recovery manager will work?
It will be like the way it was before, no harm done. q16] Will be system will work and recovery manager stored in HDD will be corrupted because of this? and it will violate the warranty or HP licence? Warranty is not the issue because it has passed away.
Once it is running Windows 7, it is no longer running HP provided copy of Vista (which means it will be out of warranty). In fact, if its runnning Vista, it is likely already out of warranty. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even for the BIOS it has mentioned in HP that Only install BIOS updates from HP. Do not install BIOS updates from the motherboard manufacturer's Web site. Doing so might prevent the computer from accepting an HP System Recovery. q17] Do i need to update any BIOS after installing windows 7?
Sometimes it is recommended you do this before upgrading to Windows 7 to guarantee a smooth install. I recommend you update if one is available. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to find latest drivers for windows 7 32-bit for my model i.e HP Pavilion dv6330ea Notebook PC?
Download these from the manufacturers website:
Manufacturer drivers:
q18] do you know any website for windows 7 32-bit drivers which are genuine and free from spyware, adware, virus, etc?
Use whats available from the manufacturer, you are unable to find drivers elsewhere, if there are no native 32 bit Windows 7 drivers, use the available 32 bit drivers, Vista and Windows 7 share the same driver model. q19] do you any software free full version which will scan the system and will inform all the outdated version of drivers and software installed in the system.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- q20] i have hp vista recovery disk, if incase any problem occur after installing windows 7 then can i revert back to vista?
Yes q21] if i revert back and install vista then will my recovery manager will work?
The recovery partition might become inoperable. Thats why I recommend you backup the entire system using Easeus To Do Backup. I am not going to delete recovery manager from the hdd, but i will do clean install of windows 7, if incase i might need if i want to revert back. So what is your opinion on this, q22] shall i delete the recovery manager also or keep it?
