Acer extensa 4220 Windows 7 Drivers

 Please read first, i installed several windows 7 operating system in old acer model and I found that only certain driver is missing, NOT ALL. So here is the driver list so that you can install the driver you needed. Important thing to keep in mind is IF the driver is working properly do not install the driver again. Example your audio and wifi is working, do not install it again because windows already installed generic driver for the device.
For your information, in acer website they only provide 3 drivers for windows 7 for this model which is infrared, fingerprint and card reader.
If you want to check which driver is missing in windows 7 you can check out my tutorial here:

ANOTHER STEP TO INSTALL DV2000 Drivers:

You can simply install all your drivers using the original vista drivers. To do that follow this steps:

1. Download you vista drivers on Hp download page.
2. Install all the original vista drivers, ignore the error because it will extracted the file we need into c:\SWsetup which we will need it later.
3. Open Device manager and right click on device marked with yellow and select UPDATE DRIVERS.
4. Select Browse my computer for....
5. Click browse and point to the SWsetup folder.

Normally it will work, sometimes it will not install the audio and graphic. Both audio and graphic base on my experience need a MOD driver instead of using manual installation above.
