Hi I have a Windows 7 installer and I'd like to extract the built-in drivers of Windows 7 to be used in my windows xp install. Is it possible that I can make use of the drivers from windows 7?

I'd like to install windows 7 instead of Windows XP but the hardware isn't ready for Windows 7.

Drivers i'm interested is for Video and Sound. I also can't download drivers because i have a slow internet connection.

Thanks!

  • Sounds like an experiment, I would like to know if any of them work in XP. Post back if you try it.

The driver models between the two operating systems are different, so Windows 7 drivers will not work on XP. You're best sourcing the correct drivers for XP from the manufacturer of the device.

The system architecture for Windows Seven and Windows XP are diferent, this make a lot of diferences between these systems driver's development. If you try to install a Seven driver on a XP system or vice-versa Windows will tell you that the driver is imcompatible with your installed Windows version.
