I bought this computer refurbished on Ebay about a year ago and since then I haven't done any driver updates. Mainly because Im not the best working with drivers. I haven't did it but just a couple times and that was like 12+ years ago. Thats why I am here. I dont really know what I am doing. I wish someone could tell me the easiest way to install the updates that i need. mainly only wishing to get the ones that make a difference such as video card drivers and drivers that make the computer run better of course.
If anyone could give me a hand I'd really appreciate it.
Thank You for your time
FAQ & Answers
Hi,
You don't need to update drivers without any need for them, if you have a fully functional laptop, you can just leave the drivers as they are and carry on using the laptop, in my opinion, some older drivers perform better than newer drivers but I have to admit that it's not always true, anyway, if you want to update the drivers, go to Acer Driver support site and download the appropriate drivers and install, these drivers are especially made for your system.

Thank you for the insight and driver link. Before I download these drivers and install them, do I have to uninstall the previous ones? Or does the wizard do it for me?
No problem, you can download first, then uninstall old drivers before you install the new drivers.
