Getting a New Laptop - What Drivers to Install?

[kluchgts]

I'm getting a new laptop and it's coming with Windows 8.1. I f*cking hate it. I'm reinstalling Windows 7 on it. And it has no optical drive so there isn't going to be a CD so what drivers do I need?

My model is the Aspire V3-572G
I looked on their website: http/us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
I downloaded the Audio, Chipset, Touchpad, USB 3.0, and Wireless LAN (which I'm assuming is for wifi?) as well as the graphics card driver from Nvidia. Am I missing anything?

Your better off upgrading to Windows 8.1 and booting to desktop. You won't have to mess with BIOS and your warranty will cover that. Not sure it will be covered going to Windows 7 unless you purchased it for Acer.

The only drivers Acer will support are Windows 8.0 64 bit and 8.1 64 bit on that machine. Good Luck

The only options they gave me to download are for Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8.1 64-bit. Never said anything about Windows 8.0

Sorry i looked up the wrong model i looked at the 772G and it only has Windows 8.1 and 8.0 drivers. Your going need everyone from the sites that match your components and only the ones that match your components.
