If for some reason your keyboard required that drivers be installed so that you can access all of the bells and whistles and there are not drivers for the keyboard in Windows7, you have lost some functions of the keyboard. If you were dependent on those lost functionsyou might be experiencing additional frustration. Maybe your friend thinks that if you by a newer version of the keyboard you will gain back all functionality.

If you have a keyboard with a PS2 connector, and there are no PS2 ports on the new computer then you would need to make a change.
