Hi,

 

I am trying to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. I ran the upgrade advisor and it said that I need to download the updated driver for the NVIDIA nForce 10/100 mbps Ethernet 32bit driver to install later.

 

Could I please have advice on where to find the correct drivers and which ones to choose, along with any BIOS upgrades that are needed and how to do that please.

 

Here is the info from the upgrade advisor:

NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet

Before installing Windows 7, go to the device manufacturer's website to download the latest driver for this device. After installing Windows 7, install the saved driver.

 

Many thanks.

Hi:

 

You need this driver to update your PC's ethernet controller, so it can be upgraded to W7...Install and restart the PC.

Hi Paul,

 

Thank you.

 

So, no Bios changes needed then?
