What existing DisplayLink drivers will work on Windows 7?
- DisplayLink drivers 4.2 and earlier are XPDM drivers that may function on Windows 7, but with limited functionality, and are not supported. Microsoft is phasing out support for XPDM.
- DisplayLink drivers version 4.3 to 4.5 are not supported on Windows 7, and may crash the system. Do not install these older driver versions, and do not upgrade a system from Vista to Windows 7 with one of these driver versions installed.
- DisplayLink drivers from version 4.6 and up are aware of Windows 7, and will refuse to install or function. Instead, updated versions of the preview Windows 7 driver available here should be used until production drivers are available.
- Production Windows 7 support will appear in future (5.x or later) versions of DisplayLink software.
