Hi All!

I have a Predator 300 Helios (PH317-52).

I just reinstalled a legal Win10 Home (downloaded from Microsoft) and I was wondering, that the windosr did not offer at the installation, that I could connect to the Wifi. Because there were no drivers. Normally a Win10 installation already copies every necessary drivers, so you have to make just a tiny update - but that's all.

Now first I had to install manually the WLAN Driver and just after that could let run a huge update to find all the necessary remaining drivers....

Why is that? I was wondering, that the BIOS is also very old style (you know....this DOS-look). Nowaday the notebooks have much modern BIOS.

Could you help me? Will I encounter this tedious problem always, or is there any medicine? :)

Thank you in advance!

Best regards: Csaba

    Although windows 10 has a huge amount of drivers, generally these drivers are generic and have only basic features so the computer can work! Devices that have been released recently, will hardly have their drivers available in windows update, needing to download these drivers manually! However it is always good to make sure the driver has the whql certificate, which means it has been approved by microsoft!
    However, windows modified by the manufacturer already has all the necessary drivers for the perfect functioning of the computer! That's why it's important to preserve Acer's recovery partition and also create a system image in Acer Care Center!
    About the fact that the bios (currently called uefi) still be shown with the blue screen, does not mean that it has fewer functions than the bios that are coming with a more modern graphical interface! Currently, all computer models are coming in uefi mode, regardless of bios format!

    What is recommended when you install a fresh copy of windows and not the custom acer oem pre installed u should had made a backup before you had it formatted with acer software because a fresh windows install will not have the drivers needed that are built into their custom oem pre installed windows even PS might not work properly with any other windows your solution now it's to download all the acer drivers for your model from the support and install them all one by one and hopefully PS will still work (or not)

    Ohh one more thing… I heard something about MOMENTUM CACHE. It was regarding SSD... Does it improve the performance of the SSD?
