Hi guys -- this might not always work as not every Vista driver can be guaranteed to work with W7 (such as some possible Printer drivers).
However if you ARE looking for a driver - especially if you are planning on doing a complete / fresh install then on your OLD VISTA system down load a little program called DRIVER MAGICIAN LITE (it's the free one). Save the driver(s) into a file. The "Paid for" version also has an IMPORT function which reloads these but you can do this in "bog standard Windows" manually anyway.
Now on the W7 system you can load these drivers just use ADD HARDWARE and specify the file as your location for the driver. Otherwise go into Device manager and against the device just click against Update Driver and follow the instructions.
Program is located at Driver Magician Lite
Note not every driver from Vista will work but around 90% do so if you are having trouble finding your W7 driver you could try this
Worked for me for various Video and Sound cards cards.
