Hi y'all,

So I upgraded my old laptop to another version of Windows 10 and when I try to install the wifi driver provided by Acer, It gives me an error. When I try to install the touchscreen drivers on it, another error is shown.


Can anyone help me??

    What do you mean by upgrade? Did you try to install the generic Microsoft Win10 version instead of the ACER OEM factory Win10 version? They are not the same. You can try to recover the original ACER OEM factory Win10 version by shutting laptop off, then turn it back on and IMMEDIATELY press and hold ALT key while tapping F10 key. A menu should appear to allow you to reset the Acer OEM Win10 if the hidden OEM recovery partition is still intact.

    Press WIN+R. Enter 'msinfo32'. Expand component folder in left pane. Expand network subfolder. Expand adapter subfolder. What is name of wifi adapter in right pane?. For example Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom and model number?

    >>>Generic Mobile Broadband Adapter,>>>

    This is the wifi adapter but it should have more information.

    No, I believe that is a 3G or 4G adapter. The WiFi/Bluetooth is separate.

    Do you have any updates pending in Windows Update? Have you rebooted as suggested by the installer?

    Maybe. Click on this link. Choose your country/region. Click the support link near the top of the country page. Try to find an Acer service center or an Acer online store in your region. Ask them if they can get you the original factory OEM Win10 version recovery USB installation stick for your particular model. In the US or Canada, you can order it directly online for about $50usd. In other countries, you have to ask.
