Microsoft has put up an extremely useful site that will allow you to check your software and hardware for Windows 7 compatibility. The Windows 7 Compatibility Center tells you whether your software or hardware is compatible, and provides instructions for driver or utility download if necessary. Useful links such to different parts of the manufacturer’s website are also provided at your convenience.
I’ve experimented with a couple of searches for old hardware and software with the site, and the site managed to have information on most of my searches. The only exception was my Nexstar 3 External Hard Drive, which is Plug and Play anyway.
If you want to check for Windows 7 compatibility in regards to software and hardware that are already installed and connected to your current setup, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor will be more useful since it checks your entire system for compatibility.
Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if your PC is ready for Windows 7. It scans your hardware, devices, and installed programs for known compatibility issues, gives you guidance on how to resolve potential issues found, and recommends what to do before you upgrade.
