Hi
I'm hoping someone can advise me on upgrading from Vista to Windows 7.
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1818 laptop, which i bought in 2007. It's in good working order and i like the 17 inch screen. I am running Vista 64 bit.
I checked the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and everything is ok, except for one crucial element - that being my Network Adapter.
This is a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC. Basically it says the driver needs updating, which i've tried to do, but it still won't let me connect wirelessly to the internet. I can however connect using an ethernet cable. Basically my laptop is near enough to the Sky Hub Router to use a cable.
When i go into the Fujitsu download site, it doesn't give any options for Windows 7. Only XP and Vista.
Before i go and buy an OEM Windows 7 licence, i want to be 100% sure that i can do the following: -
Many thanks.

- Will i still be able to install Windows 7 even though there is not a Windows 7 network adapter?
- I'm hoping i can, because at present i am connecting to the internet just fine with an ethernet cable as my network adapter just won't work.
- I have no problem connecting using ethernet, as long as Windows 7 installs and works.
Many thanks.
