I purchased a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop in May 2008, just before I retired because I knew it would probably be a while before I could purchase another PC. During that year MS only allowed Vista to be sold with computers. A year ago I tried to upgrade to Windows 7 and my laptop lost touch pad and mouse capabilities. After 6 hours on the phone with tech support (3 with Dell and 3 with Windows, fortunately at no cost), I was told that my laptop model was not capable of the upgrade because there were no drivers available for the Windows 7 OS. They even took me to the Dell website to show me.They (of course Dell) suggested I purchase another computer!! HAHA!
Any suggestions other than buying a new computer which I can’t afford to do right now? Shouldn’t there be drivers somewhere that I can download safely?
