Hi I have a acer aspire 3 A315-54 which came with windows 10 I downgraded it to windows 8.1 and noticed there's drivers missing such as TouchPad driver and wireless driver etc I tried to download the drivers from the acer site but for the model it's only giving me windows 10 drivers how can I get the drivers for windows 8.1

Make sure you've tried the hotkey combos shown below just in case wifi and touchpad are toggled off. If still no response, then connect your LAN port to the router. Then download and install iobit's DriverBooster freeware to see if it'll pick up any compatible driver's on line.

Hi I have but it doesn't work, I went to device management and there's nothing installed there

What doesn't work? The hotkeys? The wired LAN? Or both don't work?

@Ash5525 the only way you can try is to use windows 10 drivers and hopes that they will work, because newer laptop works best with windows 10/11 only.
