And then I had trouble getting a cranky HP Officejet to work (8500). Win 7 was trying to give me a 'Generic Bluetooth Driver' so I had to go manually find the Apple Driver. I had to revert back to the 2009-ish driver for the BlueTooth (that did it!). The only hiccups I had were getting my Magic Mouse to work. And then all the Boot Camp updates installed just fine. I did not need all the various drivers, as Win 7 seemed to recognize everything with the first Boot Camp install (3.0, from my Snow Leopard disk). I also downloaded all the versions of Boot Camp, except version 4.0. In anticipation of problems, I downloaded all the drivers I could find (sound, display, wireless and ethernet drivers). I used Windows Easy Transfer to get all my files and settings moved to the Win 7 platform. I am happy to report that everything went just perfect.

I had been waiting so all the drivers could catch up and all the issues could be ironed out. After reading their reply (which said go check out the Apple support), and then reading Apple's support threads, I attempted to update my first-generation, very first-Intel-based, early 2006 iMac.
