I just reinstalled vista for this guy's laptop because he doesn't like windows 7 (lol). His laptop didn't come with driver discs so how am I able to find out his hardware and install the appropriate drivers? Thanks.
What kind of laptop is it?
Acer.
We need model number.
My bad. Acer Aspire 6930.

Why doesn't he like 7? If he doesn't like the way the taskbar is, it can be changed back to the Windows Vista one
[QUOTE=djjkxbox;22080166]Why doesn't he like 7? If he doesn't like the way the taskbar is, it can be changed back to the Windows Vista one[/QUOTE] This. Vista is technologically inferior to 7 in most ways, so going back to Vista is rather pointless.
How do I know which drivers to install? I don't know what hardware he has.
Just download them all. If the hardware that the drivers are for doesn't exist on that computer, the installer (should) tell you so and quit before it installs anything.
Which driver there is for the internet? I've gotten the processor and gpu set up already.
Depends. How are you connecting? If you're doing it wireless, look for WiFi drivers. If you're doing it with a cable, look for Ethernet drivers. (You should really install both, but whatever)
