Do I need to install all new Drivers for Windows 7?

I want to install Windows 7 to my Dell Latitiude D510. The only thing I'm worried about is that I need to install all my drivers again, and I can't seem to find any for Windows 7. Do I need all new drivers? And if yes, where can I download them? Thanks.

Hey Ramon,Sorry to tell you that even if u are able to install windows 7 on your Dell Latitude D510, dell hasn't provided drivers for windows 7 for the same which means if some of the hardware stops working after installing windows 7,nothing can be done in order to get the latest drivers for windows 7 for Dell Latitiude D510.I have attached a link for windows 7 upgrade advisor that would scan your computer and tell whether its compatible with windows 7 or not. Also a link for dell support.Feel free to contact me on yahoo anytime, I am online 24*7.Even if it says that I am offline, I am online and you can message me on yahoo messenger too

yes, you definitely need drivers for your windows 7...even if you found that there is no missing hardware drives in it, you will find the problems later on (e.g. video problems, sound etc.)...if you dont have the drivers for windows 7, just visit the Dell official website and i do mean official so that you can have the correct drivers...good luck...

If you upgrade to 64-Bit OS in WINDOWS 7 or WINDOWS VISTA, then one ESSENTIAL DRIVER you will likely miss is your Wi-Fi card...and then will have to shop for new 64Bit WiFi device bec Linksys, Belkin, NetGear all do not offer 64 bit WiFi drivers on their websites rather they want you to buy a new one.I know we have superfast Dell Studio XPS 435 Mini-Tower with Intel Pentium Core i7-920 CPU and 6GB DDR3 memory upgradeable to whopping 12GB that came installed with 64Bit VISTA OS. Recently we had problem with internet connections and only WiFi was working on 3 Dell Notebook PCs (Latitude D800, Latitude D 620 and Inspiron E1505) so we can backup WiFi devices when we vacation and I decided to hookup & install Linksys WUSB300N USB adapter to Dell Studio XPS 435MT desktop and found out it would not work or install the painful way...so my research resulted in buying Linksys WUSB600N dual band WiFi USB adapter that does have 64-Bit drivers and it works on both 32-Bit and 64-Bit OS,To my eyes and needs, Windows 7 is just a fix to Windows VISTA and the door to 64Bit OS bec if you didn't know your Dell D510 motherboard and 32 Bit Windows XP cannot support more than 3.5GB memory.Hope the Above Info Helps!

Hi! As you can see to this link: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=LATITUDE%20D510&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid= Dell company does not provide support with drivers for Windows 7. Yes, you need all important drivers such a video, sound card reader, wireless and wired lan cards, etc. Before to install Windows 7 make an inventory with drivers you need an search them on the internet to be sure that exists for your hardware. Good luck! PS: I don't give advice to install Win 7.

Windows 7 will either install things automatically, they'll show up on Windows Update, or you can download them from Dell's support page for your machine.Dell does have Windows 7 drivers up for many things, but you can still use Vista drivers without a problem for anything that doesn't specify Windows 7. In many case the Windows 7 drivers are simply a label change, but nothing has truly been altered.

Hello Ramon,You will need to install new drivers after the upgrade, for more information about drivers, where to find them and how to install go here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Update-drivers-recommended-links. Cheers,TaraWindows Outreach Team
