Clean Win 7 Pro install Pavilion M8517c

It's time for a hard disk change.

 

Currently running Win Premium which was installed as a Vista upgrade by previous owner.

 

There are some bugs and issues with this setup and I would like to start with a clean copy of Win 7 Pro onto a new 120 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD for OS and Programs using a new WD Black 1 TB as the data disk.

 

ACPI x64 PC Driver V 6.1.7600.16385

BIOS 6.1.7601.17514

Processors are Intel Core 2 Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz.

Storage Controller is Intel ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO/PCH SATA Raid Driver V 8.9.0.1023

NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT Video Card

Currently has 5 GB Memory which I am upgrading to 8 MB.

 

I'm computer literate, not an IT guy and have done a fair amount of homework on the logistics for the 2 disk setup, but I hate surprises.

 

Will I need to get any required HP specific drivers prior to the installation or will the Win 7 install disk take care of this for me?

 

I have the system recovery disks which are for Win Vista OS but I think they will only work for the original Vista setup.

 

Thanks in advance
