Netgrear WIFI Adapter And Windows 7

Hello Forum, I have a Netgear, "WNA 3100," WIFI adapter with driver disk which I purchased a few years ago. I have Windows 7 which works with my adapter, however the driver used is the Windows 7 one.  If I install the Netgear driver from my disk, will this automatically over-ride the Windows 7 driver or will I have to perform any additional procedures? Many thanks in advance.

    You would do better to install the latest drivers from the support pages for your device.

     

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
