Windows-7 on an HP dv9000t laptop

CurtisP40

Does anybody know if Windows-7 will run on a dv9000t?

FWIW, mine was shipped with XP and a few months later I received HP's version of Vista, which I installed right away. Within a few weeks I reverted to XP and have been running it that way ever since.

I have ordered Win-7 Ultimate for my home-built desktop, and would like to know if there are any pitfalls or caveats associated with it for the dv9000t

TIA

There should be no issue installing 7 on that machine.

Windows 7 will run on an HP dv9000t just fine

I have a HP dv9008nr notebook.
I tested Windows 7 on it a while ago. It runs much better with windows 7, than it does with vista

Thanks to all who responded.

One more question:

I have Win-7 Ultimate. From what I have read, the hard disk will be formatted and then Win-7 will install.

Are there any problems with installing specific HP dv9000t drivers?

I am hoping that the Win-7 install will cover those details - but I want to be prepared - just in case. I have little use for most of HP's "goodies", so they are of no concern. I have been building my own systems since the mid-1980's and have little tolerance for manufacturer-specific app's and gotcha's.

Thanks in advance

Shouldn't be any issues, but just in case you should probably download the drivers for it from HP and throw them on a USB drive just to be on the safe side. Grab the Vista drivers for whatever version of 7 you're installing, 32-bit or 64-bit.
