I feel like at the time, instead of reinstalling drivers (which would be a pain in the butt) it would be better to either keep using Windows XP or buy a new machine running Windows 7.
I'm pretty sure 7 had an XP driver compatibility layer. Even then, windows update would at least try it's best to find one automatically with the update catalog.

Windows 7 should support USB3. Despite Being 1 year newer than The Initial USB 3 Release. Since USB3 is from 2008 and Windows 7 from 2009. This is supposedly to be the first OS To have it but MS Is lazy so they do it on Windows 8 instead

I actually do have a question, when I had tried to install win 7 on my win xp computer, it says that I cannot directly upgrade from xp to 7 and need to upgrade to vista first. How come do you seem to update it directly?
For a Windows Setup "Upgrade" and "Clean Install" are different thing, you can do a clean install of Windows 7 on XP but won't back up your files, need to upgrade to Vista first, which is so annoying. But back then, people didn't care, but MS brought it back for Windows 8.x because XP end of support.
