I discovered after the fact that some of the drivers weren't available for Win7, specifically the PCI flash memory (what does that do anyways?). After a web search on this issue I found a suggestion that if there isn't Win7 driver, the Vista driver would probably work. So I downloaded it manually and the warning has disappeared.
I also discovered that the CD/DVD drive wouldn't mount and couldn't be found and was actually getting ready to restore Vista with great sadness
. In preparation I went into the BIOS and changed the boot order so that the machine tries to boot from CD/DVD first then goes to the hard drive. Lo and behold, the CD drive was now mounted and visible in My Computer. It seems BIOS trumps operating system.Should I be concerned about this or have any other worries? Or should I be relatively comfortable leaving well enough alone and go about my business. I did a clean install rather than an upgrade because it was less hassle and got rid of a lot of the OEM garbage taking up space. I occasionally will do some Access work on it if I am on the road. We're using Office 2003. The only programs other than Windows stuff are Office 2003, Firefox and AVG free.
The machine is essentially used only for Word processing and web browsing, not a lot else.
