    You should contact Creative Support to be sure.

    If you are using the same PC and simply upgrading the OS, you should be fine. If it is a new PC, it must have the proper slot for the card and compatible drivers. This card is EOL by EMu, so you may be looking for a new card.

    No. The driver is the interface between the device and the operating system, so if you change the OS, you will need a Win 7 compatible driver. It is possible that a Vista driver might work in Win 7, but an XP driver will almost certainly not.

    Yes, David is correct. I was thinking more about hardware compatibility. You will need at least Vista-level drivers. Win7 drivers should be available on Creative's site though.

    It does not appear that there are any drivers for that card that are written for Win 7.  You might try the Vista drivers, but I would not be surprised if they didn't work.

    If you use "older" drivers, you can right-click them and set Compatibility to the last known OS they worked under. This is not always 100% but it has worked for me a time or two.

    Stupid forum software hangs causing one to repeat the Submit button while nothing happens each time only to find you've beat the system by posting 3 times in 15 seconds which it will normally not let you do thus increasing your post count by 2 more than you're legally entitled to. ...

    There is a wealth of information for E-MU interface users on the following website -
    http://www.productionforums.com/viewforum.php?f=179&sid=d50355c444466ca6caa1544b9a29cc7f  Post your questions there. I'm pretty sure that if you search the website, you can find posts relating to the use of the 0404 PCI interface with Windows 7. Also, one of the longtime users, "Jmail", is a warehouse of knowledge about E-MU stuff. If anyone can help you, he can.
     
    For the record, I use an E-MU 1616m PCMCIA CardBus 32-bit interface on one of my laptops running Windows 7 64-bit. I use a "Beta" driver that E-MU released a few years back. Works like a charm. That laptop is a backup to my other laptop that runs an RME Babyface Pro, also on Windows 7 64-bit. Though I haven't needed to run the E-MU laptop as a backup, I still use it from time to time to run BFD2 (the Babyface Pro laptop runs BFD3).

    If you have a Windows 7 disc, you are better off doing a clean OS install from the disc, and NOT installing Windows 7 over XP.

    FWIW, I was using the E-MU 0404 PCI card in my desktop up until a few months ago, with Windows 7, then Windows 10 when it came out. The card finally crapped out, so I decided to go with a USB audio interface, but it was a good card for many years.
     
    Sadly, I don't have the latest drivers still, but if I remember correctly, I think the driver and application files I found at this link were what I was using: http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=237&catName=Digital+Audio+Systems&prodID=20022&prodName=E-MU+0404+PCIe
