Hi, Keeping Windows 7 updated, Microsoft has built a special alert program that not only alerts you about the current operating system's update but also other aspects of an OS such as drivers.

I ran into the same problem with a friends Hewlett-Packard laptop that was 6 years old. Problem is the manufacturers only retain Recovery Discs now for 3 years.
