Toshiba Laptop Drivers - Question

[Sam_191]

So ive looked everywhere, and am not finding drivers for these Toshiba laptops anywhere. Am i missing something or has Toshiba just sunk more nails in their coffin? After this debacle, Toshiba laptops have $0 value for me. Complete garbage.

Just want some other input, maybe im overlooking something, but their website is crap.

Am i missing something?

Thanks everyone!

Not seeing which models you are referring to?

Model is kind of moot to the question, but.....C55D-A5150 when going to their site, i can find what i need to for the parts of the website, but its only bloatware, no drivers.... Beyond frustrated (i have over 25 years hardware experience, so its not lack of knowledge).

I wanted model number so I could lookup the drivers for it:

These are Windows 10, but there are a lot for Windows 8 too. Not sure why you couldn't find these?
Are you looking for other OS drivers?

there you go:

Its windows 7 though, not 10. However, thank you to everyone for input!

 

[rgd1101]

so you downgrade the laptop from 8 to 7? should have check for drivers first.

 

[Sam_191]

No, i bought it with 7 (half installed, no drivers) installed on a failing HDD, so i replaced the HDD and installed 7.

No, i bought it with 7 installed on a failing HDD, so i replaced the HDD and installed 7.

and didn't make a recovery disk?
try going to 8 or 10 and look at what drivers it offer and then go to the components manufacturer website to see if they still have windows 7 driver.

Nothing to make a recovery disc of unfortunately. Whoever before me, just popped a win7 disc in and clicked next, got to a desktop and never installed anything else. I think ill try some win8 drivers and see if they work, otherwise ill just upgrade it to 10

I have had success finding Windows 7 drivers for laptops that came with Windows 8 or 10 but the manufacturer rarely provides them. They don't provide drivers for OS's that they never sold the laptop with. Hardware ID's from device manager are your friends!
