    I have the same problem, I want to update the driver of my graphics but they are still the same on the Acer website, I try directly from the manufacturer's website and it gives an error because acer modifies the drivers to avoid some errors.

    Driver on acer site are base and recommended driver.

    If you want to update your drivers then do it from device manager 
    click on window icon→search device manager and open it
    (For example- if you want to update wifi driver then open device manager→expand network adapters→right on wireless wifi driver→search update device→automatically search for updated driver)

    (Note-Use device manager only if you want to update drivers like Wifi, Bluetooth, audio driver etc Not for gpu driver)

    If you want to update gpu driver then visit official 
    Nvidia/amd driver site

    yes I also faced this issue that you shared here but after some days I realized that it was just my confusion there is no old driver there I just felt like that but after using it some days I understand that thing.
