I have some issues here. I run win 7 64-bit ( I hate 8 and 10) clean install. Every thing OK except for the wifi driver. I used the ones in drive section of ACER product suppot and it didn't work. Can you guide to a solution.

All I can do is Google the hardware IDs. You may not find a Wifi driver that supports Win 7 in that laptop.

If you go back to 8.1 or 10, take a look at Start8 or Start 10. They make the OS's a lot like Win 7.

Thank you philetus. It is not about the feel and look. It is about the system a whole. In win7, my freedom of doing or rejecting anything is higher than 8 and 10.

As for the driver I have tried everything and searched everywhere. Still, I couldn't find a reliable drivers source. And why it is not win7 compatible?(interesting)

Anyway thanks for you help
