Is Windows 7 compatible with GA-73PVM-S2 F3
« on: March 14, 2014, 07:28:21 am »
Hi:

I have an old PC with the GA-73PVM-S2 F3 motherboard. At this time the PC it's running with windows Xp. I want to upgrade to windows 7 but I don't know if is compatible whit the motherboard. In the download section of the giga-byte web only appears audio drivers for win7 and no for LAN, SATA and VGA. Are they not necessary, can I use vista drivers or simply this motherboard is incompatible with win7?

Excuse my bad English.

Thanks.

Usually, if there are no drivers for WIndows 7 it is because they are already incorporated into the OS. Try running the Microsoft Upgrade Advisor: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/downloads/upgrade-advisor as that should tell you if there will be any hardware and/or software issues.
