Is the Nitro 5 Intel - AN515-58-50LB compatible with Windows 10?

Hi, I just bought the Nitro 5 Intel - AN515-58-50LB, but I couldn't find Windows 10 drivers for the device on Acer's website. I was wondering if it can only run on Windows 11 without any issues.

    You may need to download and install DriverBooster or similar driver freeware to find device drivers on line for newer nitro hardware that may not be fully compatible with generic Win10 device drivers. Unfortunately, the very useful NitroSense app interface probably won't function properly if at all under Win10. If it was mine, I wouldn't even try the downgrade without a very good reason for doing so.

    It is strongly recommended not to downgrade Windows 11 systems; you will get nothing but problems after a Clean install of Windows10 (check this forum).
