Transition from Vista (32-bit) to Win 7 (64-bit). PLEASE HELP!

08 Nov 2009 11:40AM

I am about to embark on the process of converting my Dimension 9200 system from Vista 32-bit to Win7 64-bit. My system is configured as follows:

  • Intel Core2 Quad Core @ 2.4 ghz
  • 4 gb RAM
  • 1.5 Tb [2 x 750 Gb, Raid 0] internal hard driveSleep
  • nVidia GeForce 8600GT display adapter
  • Dell 1907FPV analogue monitor;

and the following peripherals:

  • MS LifeCam Show
  • Samsung ML2510 monochrome laser printer
  • HP Scanjet G4010 scanner
  • Canon Pixma Pro9000 printer
  • WD MyBook Home external HD, 1 Tb.
  • WD MyPassport portable HD, 325 Gb.

Principle software in use includes MS Office 2007 Ultimate, Adobe Master Collection CS4, IE8, Nero 9, TurboCAD 15, etc.

What new drivers do I need and where do I get them? What do I have to do to prepare to install Win7 64-bit? What else do I need to know? (I am NOT in any way a computer techie, I'm just a user.) Please help!

I suggest you run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor, see what turns up. Run it with all devices connected and powered up.

Most likely W7 will have all the drivers needed.

 

Check your printer manufacturers website for W7 drivers.

 

Looks like HP has them   http://h41112.www4.hp.com/promo/win7web/printer-support/us/en/scanjet.html

 

Samsung also  http://www.samsung.com/us/support/search/supportSearchModelResult.do?menu=SP01&searchWord=ml2510&searchInputBox=ml2510&find_button=

 

Canon also  http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=DownloadIndexAct
