EQMOD & EQ6 with 64bit W7 Home Premium?

I've had a quick search and not found any major problems, but before I spend real money on a new computer, can you confirm there are no major issues running ASCOM/EQMOD/EQ6 on 64 bit W7 Home Premium, or what I should do to ensure pain free installation?

You need to confirm that the manufactures of the equipment supply 64bit digitally signed drivers because if they are not digitally signed Windows 7 will block the driver on boot Microsoft say it is a security issue.
