Preload H710p Windows driver prior to PERC6/i to H710p migration?

I have a PowerEdge 2950 III with 4 drives in RAID6 on PERC 6/i.  The OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent.  I would like to move the drives over to a new R720 with H710p.   Is there a way to preload the H710p driver on the existing system so as to avoid a BSOD when booting Windows on the new R720?  I tried running the Dell package "Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64 Bit Driver for Dell PERC H310/H710/H710P/H810/SPERC8 Controllers" on the 2950, but it gave me an error message that the package was not supported on that system.

My other thought was to do an in-place upgrade of the 2950's OS from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 and hopefully the H710p drivers are already built into 2012 R2 ?
