Windows 7 upgrade

#1 Post by catsmoke » Sat Sep 11, 2010 2:27 pm

Has anyone upgrade their t43p successfully to Windows 7?I have upgraded the hardware the 7 adviser recommended.The wifi card Intel 2200 bg to Intel 2915 abg.But Intel says it in not compatible.Microsoft dose.I can't find a 7 driver for it from IBM or Intel.Or would it be a whole lot easier to just in stall Ubuntu when XP is no longer supported in 2014.

Thanks! Vince

Many people have upgraded their T43/p units to W7 with no issues. Myself included.

Have you ran the Windows Update, it should pick the driver up automatically?

If not, the one for Vista should work:
