Sony Vaio & Windows 7

E1T5Y · 26 Oct 2009 at 11:23

Hi

I currently have a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ71MN/B and really want to move over to Windows 7. I have been told that not all drivers are available yet??
After looking on the web it seems that the VAIO Windows 7 Drivers are done yet :confused:

I appreciate that my laptop will work but the rumors i'm seeing is that the FN keys or the other shortcut keys wont work?

Anybody able to shed any light on this? Or more importantly point me in the direction of some drivers for my notebook?

Thanks

If it was me I would make an image of my old system then try it out. Windows 7 should work with any Vista Drivers (may have to click a legacy or compatability option), the ones for your sys are here:

Awesome thanks sibeer

I thought it was a bit odd that i coudl not find Windows 7 Specific drivers.

Ill have a go and see how it goes, definitely a backup in order
