Windows 7 Beta Drivers? -

I put in a different hard drive in my pc and decided to give the windows 7 beta a go. But the problem is how do I get on the internet, what drivers can I get to make internet work. Please help

In most cases, Windows Vista drivers will work. Just download the Vista drivers for your hardware

Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2, and Firefox all support the Windows 7 Beta download. I never test beta products because I did once with a beta version of Internet Explorer and it was a nightmare. Did the Beta version of Windows 7 include an Internet browser install? The information I read from Microsoft did not indicate it included a browser. If not, and you put in a new hard drive, you have no internet browser on your computer. Since you can t get on the Internet without the browser, you ll have to get a copy from a friend and install it. Have a friend download Internet Explorer 7 to a disk and give it to you so you can install the browser. Software doesn t use drivers. Drivers are required for your operating system to run hardware such as printers, video cards, etc.

If you have a device that won;t work in 7 with the Vista driver, just reinstall Vista. Remember, this is for bug testing - that means that they haven t gotten all the bugs out yet. (Given Microsoft s history, they ll never get all the bugs out of anything but their insect traps.)

Try the manufacturers of the device site
