Can I get windows 7 drivers for my acer e5-771g laptop? there are lots of problems with OS 8 and 10.

syang

I  bought a E5 771.  But I am not feeling well with the OS 8.1.  there are also some problem with the OS even when upgraded to OS 10.

 

I cannot find the drivers for win7 on acer website.  

 

 

I am wondering if you can provide the drivers for win7.    Or I can download the OS 8 drivers to be used on win 7.

you must search drivers by yourself, please be aware that you need to set BIOS to Legacy instead of UEFI, this can arise some hardware issues:

- video gprahic corruptions

- touchpad not working or having hiccups

- windows 7 drivers not availables

- Legacy is less safer than UEFI

 

windows 8.1 is a good OS, windows 10 is even better; i would suggest you to try a windows 10 clean install (after creating a recovery media to re-install windows 8.1 in the worst case).

 

you can also explain a little better, what do you meant with "here are also some problem with the OS even when upgraded to OS 10".

maybe a simple BIOS or drivers update can solve those issues.

Thanks so much for your reply.

 

 

I Upgraded to Win 10.  the problems I met are:

1:some features in win 7 are not available ,like change winodws bachgroud color.

2:explore crashes very often and system frozed for a couple of minutes when this occurs.

   

  even I installed othre file explorer .  this freeze can occur.

 

  I have already updated the OS to the lastest.

 

3:will spend more time on familiar with new OS

 

4:you don't know when some software will have problem running on OS 10.

Those issues probably are related to a faulty upgrade, you do a clean windows 10 install instead of the upgrade.

 

by the way, as i told you, you can install windows 7 using legacy but you have to search drivers by yourself.
