Reinstalled Windows 7 on an old Laptop, drivers are not on manufacturer's website.

Hello,

I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x64 onto my old laptop, and have found that there are no drivers listed on the website for my model (I know I should've checked that first. Rookie mistake).

I'm currently awaiting a reply from the manufacturer (NovaTech) regarding it's drivers, but I will not receive my reply until at least Monday.

The ethernet port is broken, but the wireless should work fine with the correct driver.

However, since the drivers for my model (nSpire N1536 - removed from the novatech store) are not listed on the website, it's effectively useless to me. (At least I can play minesweeper!)

So, here I am, stumped by a lack of drivers being shared by a manufacturer, hoping that there's some kind of workaround.

So what I'm asking is - is there any way at all to find out my wireless controller's device model, so that I can go and download it on my main machine, and move it over with a flash drive? I have access to applications such as Piriform's Speccy, CPUID's CPU-Z, etc. on my flash drive, and I can install others if necessary.

Thanks for taking the time to read about my problem, I hope someone can tell me the words I want to hear.

Look for Vista x64 drivers. I used Vista x64 drivers to get 7 x64 working on a bunch of Dell Precision Workstations.

Couldn't find anything, found a website with a list of NovaTech wireless drivers, didn't find the one that worked, though.

The hardware will have ID listed in device manager under Properties > Details > Hardware ID
You can look on the web for that hardware ID and see what drivers are available.
Or simply buy an external WiFi card, although without chipset, video and sound drivers the laptop will be pretty useless.
