The best is to identify every part in your laptop and look for the drivers.

[Off-topic] Sparx639:
Usually the win 8 driver packages include windows 7 drivers within them. You could always go to the various companies for their drivers, such as, if there is a realtek network card in your laptop, you could find the model of it, and go to the realtek website, and download their windows 7 driver for it. But you would have to do that for every unknown driver in your windows 7 installation.

Fps and hz are not the same but they're linked. Fps is more of a software thingy while hz is related to your monitors hardware. A 60 hz monitor refreshes max 60 times a second that means it can't output more than 60fps yet fraps might show higher fps in some scenarios as it measures processed frames output from gpu afaik. Having said all this game play at higher fps will be smoother

Realistically, what kind of budget would I need to build a real simple, non gaming pc just for use as a home media box. Used just for downloading, converting, streaming and storing media. Won't even play solitaire on it. Would like a HDMI out and TV tuner card on it. Doesn't need to be a beast, but able to handle recording ota broadcast and streaming at the same time. And no ssd, too expensive for a huge capacity drive. Thinking at least 2 tb. And for optical, would like a bluray that can burn DVDs.

Don't need plugs on the front, have everything on the back and out of sight. I already have a wireless mouse and keyboard. Only things visible of it would be a USB hub and media card reader. Thinking of even having an external bluray drive so the tower can be neatly tucked back anywhere. Maybe hack my own box to hold the drive, USB, and media. That way its custom and fits with my clean look. Remember I don't have a cable box and the tuner box is small and with it being made by Samsung, matches the design of my Samsung TV. It sits under it and looks like they go together.

Just read that. Thanks man. I know very very little about hardware. So a couple hundred and this would be set. Seems pretty cheap. And I'm not asking for it to do much. But recording from tuner and streaming would tax it. That's why I didn't know I needed something with power or not. And I don't care if it takes 4 hours to convert one movie. Just that it does it.
