Acer Aspire 5 - Reinstall Windows 10 Drivers

dboost

I reinstalled Windows 10 and was struggling to get the Acer Drivers provided on the website installed and acknowledging the hardware such as Audio, Display, TouchPad etc.
Many of the drivers provide a "setup.exe" which would complete successfully but still failed to configure and activate the hardware.

I found a solution which I could not find here so wants to share this.

I first installed the Hardware Chipset driver as this worked correctly.
Then I downloaded all the drivers relating to my hardware (10th Generation version) and extracted them all into a folder eg. C:\Drivers
Then I went into the Device Manager and went through each item one-by-one and right-click then Update Driver and pointed it to this folder C:\Drivers ( Yes I did it for EVERYTHING ) and a lot of the items found a better driver in this folder and updated this and everything started working correctly: Audio, Display and TouchPad etc.

Hope this helps!

That’s exactly how I do it except after doing that I recommend updating  your GPU driver direcTly from Nvidia or AMD website
