Hi everyone, my first post so be nice, please!

 

I would like to update the drivers for my new Acer Aspire V3-571 (Windows 8 OS) I input my serial number online and then click the download link on the particular driver, for example wifi.

 

However what am I supposed to do after I've downloaded the file? Do I unzip it? 

 

I'm not very technological, sorry. Any help though would be very much appreciated.

    Yes you have to unzip them. My advice is to right click on the file and hit extract all. This will create a regular folder of the same name as the zip file in the folder where the zip is located. Now go into the folder and look for setup.exe.

     

    Another alternative would be to run Windows update and check for new drivers if you're not able to get the zip files working.
