Hi alls,

I have just purchased Acer Aspire E1-572 that installed windows 8. And I have changed the OS by installing windows 7 on it, but now I cann't find some drivers for my laptop.(network, usb,..)

Can anyone tell me how to find drivers win7 for my laptop (Acer Aspire E1-572)?

Many thanks,

[Joshua188]

Well you would need to format the HDD to be safe then run installation while in Legacy BIOS then go through the normal steps. There may be drivers that will not work so make sure to write down the driver names to be safe and download the drivers from thwe sites for the parts. Acer may not have the avalible drives due to the unit did ship with windows 8. If you need further help shoot me an email.

Hi Joshua,

I have succeed to install Window 7 on Aspire E1-572, but now I cann't use wireless card, the Device Manager show it's an unknow device. I can't find its drivers on Acer website. Could I use drivers windows 8 for it?

Sincerely thanks,

You can always try.

I would create a restore point prior to testing the driver so that you can always roll back should it not work. That should clear all trace of the driver and restore your registry.

Another possibility is to try the Win7 driver from the E1-571. As you are only interested in the WiFi driver there's a good chance that one may work.

Should you be unsure of your exact hardware, run the detection program on the download page.
