You are comparing a 7 year old version of Windows to a recent Linux release. Obviously Windows 7 will not have all the drivers.

Windows may have been released 7 years ago, but it gets updates pretty frequently. Windows 7 has had the ability to install drivers from Windows updates for a few years now.

The linux comparison isn't recent either. That was the exact same procedure I had to do on an nVidia-stricken laptop (thankfully not mine) four years ago.
