I have E5-571

 

there are drivers 

https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/5344?b=1

 

however, there are many types of:

- Bluetooth : BroadCom, BroadCom HAI, Atheros

- TouchPad : Synaptics, ElanTech

- VGA : Intel Broadwell, NVIDIA, NVIDIA Broadwell

- Wireless Lan Driver: Broadcom, Intel, Atheros

 

i think it's very BAD that we have no idea which one should we install, there are no notes or intructions to find out which type we need. Many famous software vendors always include such notes in their websites:  click here to find out which version you need? (or like that, and when user clicks, he sees the instructions). But on Acer website, like on that link, i have no idea which one I need.

    if your laptop OS is windows 10, most of the drivers will be automatically installed to the latest version, so you just need to check under device manager if any yello exclamation mark is visible, if not, your system is OK.

     

    windows logo key + x

    click on Device manager
