Oct 22, 2009 Culture I just bought a Vista PC, how do I get my free Windows 7 upgrade? That's a key question being asked by students, parents, and anyone in the market. Can't get past lock screen on Windows 10 after upgrading from Win 7 (free upgrade) Forum; Dell gx280 audio drivers for windows 7 free download Forum.

I have moved my Dell XPS M1530 from Vista to Windows 7 (Ultimate) both ways using two different internal drives (cloning with Acronis True Image Home 2010: do NOT try to use 2009 version with Window 7): • Upgrade - first uninstalling all apps that Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor flagged, and fortunately not having installed MS Beta software (sometimes difficult to uninstall) • Custom - overwriting the existing OS, apps, data, then re-installing apps, using Microsoft Easy Transfer tool to move data and settings from the cloned disk. In both cases the M1530 was plugged into my LAN (Ethernet) so that Windows 7 could download updates and drivers as needed, and then Windows Update was used to install MS patches. In both cases the Sigma Tel High Definition Audio CODEC driver installed by Windows 7 was unable to offer or make an appropriate selection when a 3.5mm microphone was plugged into the right-most front-edge jack or unplugged. This problem was fixed by uninstalling the CODEC driver(which Windows 7 Device Manager said was the latest and best) and downloading, installing Dell's driver recommended for M1530 Vista (32-bit): R190517.exe (enter your service tag (bottom of laptop) in Driver Downloads site). The uninstall is sometimes necessary for a successful install of this driver. Do not be alarmed that its install-shield says it's for 64-bit Vista.
After the install you'll note that plugging into the right-most jack causes the Sigma Tel device-selection panel to pop up so that you can select 'Microphone'. Then go into Control Panel and configure your default speaker and microphone devices to use this driver for both music and communication; similarly check and set the defaults appropriately for applications such as Skype(Tools->Options->Audio Setting->Show Advanced Options). In both case plug and play solved all remaining driver issues: USB drivers were downloaded as needed (where available on the web; CDs may be needed for some); Windows Mobile Remote Adaptor (a big one, Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1) was installed when I connected my old unlocked HTC Wizard with USB cable. Sorry, you're out of luck if you did not follow Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor's advice to uninstall Easy Sync from Vista prior to the upgrade: start over with your crippled Windows 7 or get better technical support than I can offer here. Bluetooth drivers (built-in transceiver, Dell mouse, headset) were downloaded and installed automatically when I switched off and on the Bluetooth switch (forward right-hand edge) and later activated each device's 'establish connection' mode. I'm very satisfied with both results (but naturally trust the more laborious clean custom install more): Ubuntu 9.10 is running fully integrated with Windows 7 in a virtual machine created by (free) VMWare Player 3.0 with virtual CDROM pointed to ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso; installation was a 'no-hands dream'.
