Add New Hardware Wizard in Windows 7

Here are two ways to launch the Add New Hardware Wizard in Windows 7 in case you need it for adding legacy devices that aren't recognized when you plug them into your system:

  • Open Device Manager, right-click the root node and select Add Legacy Hardware.
  • Type hdwwiz in the Start Search box and press ENTER.
