Drivers for Win7

Since my Dell Inspiron 600m with WinXP is no longer a usable software, I upgraded the unit to Win7.  I did a fresh install and now need the drivers.  I can not get the web and the Dell Support for this system does not provide Win7 drivers.  In addition, I do not know the components that are in this system to identify which drivers I need.

I need help to get these drivers and need direction, as to, were to seek this information

    It's time to upgrade to a newer computer. Your model is too old for windows 7 (or even vista) and there are no drivers for it. Laptops need customized dell drivers to work properly. You can use XP if you stay off the Internet--which is not practical. BTW the hardware is listed in Device Manager.

    It might be that drivers do not exist, as this is a 2004 model. Vista drivers may work, as the OS was released two years later.

    You might try Windows 10 32-bit, as its support for older models is surprisingly good and drivers are included with the installer.
