    1) This isn't your first post here. You know better than to post in all caps. Please don't do that again. Thank you.

    2) You need to go to the website of your laptop manufacturer to download drivers.

      To the moderator: I am sorry if I offended you by posting this topic. I just want to ask help where can I get or download Win 7 drivers for my LG LW70 laptop. Maybe there are some other people who have tried to upgrade this similar laptop and they they know where these drivers can be obtained. I tried LG website but I cannot find any Win 7 drivers for the above laptop. Again I am very sorry. Thank you very much.

        Go to Device Manager, double click on the driver that you need, and select the Details tab. On the scroll list, find and select the Hardware ID option. On the string that appears, hold CTRL and C to copy it. Next, open your browser and navigate to 'devid.info' and paste the Hardware ID into the box of the site that appears. This will list the most relevant driver. Download it, install it, done.

        Hope this helps.

        Laptop drivers should always be obtained from the website of the Laptop manufacturer. If you can't find the appropriate drivers there you should contact them directly and see what they say.

          My way should only be used as a secondary option if you can't find the drivers on the Manufacturers site.

          No...it shouldn't be used at all in the case of a laptop machine...

            Laptop manufacturers customize drivers extensively to fit their specific hardware. More often than not drivers from the card manufacturers won't even work in the laptop(s), but even if they do that's not how the system(s) are designed.

              I'm confused, if you do what I say, and make sure you copy the Hardware ID, you don't usually get more than one download.  ???

              Have you had good results using your method on laptop drivers?
              Example:

              HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&VEN_14F1&DEV_2BFA&SUBSYS_14F100C3&REV_0900\4&350F0B83&0&0102
              That is from a 'unknown device' on a laptop. Where do you find a driver for taught? Or anything like it.
