Can’t find Windows 7 64-bit compatible drivers for laptop/notebook
LockedI have a Inspiron 1420 that I recently aquired. It has a DELL OPR853 motherboard with a Pentium T2390 dual core cpu and it was running an older version of Vista 32bit. I picked it up free because it wasn’t working correctly so the original owner bought a new laptop. It is in excellent condition but it had a couple of viruses and some miscellanious malware/spyware on it which is why it did not work at first. Instead of disinfecting it I updated the BIOS then formatted the HDD and installed Windows 7 Home premium 64bit . The problem is I need updated drivers for the mainboard, touchpad etc, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere. I tried using the available vista drivers from the Dell website, but they are either incompatible or uninstallable. This machine seems to work very well with this version of windows, it even boots up in less than 1/3 the time but unfortunately not all the hardware works correctly because of the missing drivers. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem.
May God’s grace and blessings be on us all in the new year 🙂
