Okay, so quick background story.


 


I have a laptop with Windows 8 on it, but like any sane person I hate Windows 8. So I partitioned my drive in half, and installed Windows 7 on the partitioned section (left Windows 8 on there just in case anything went wrong then yeah).


 


I've got Windows 7 installed and booted, I've got my ethernet in so I have access to internet, I've gone on the manufacturers website for my laptop and I can't find the drivers for these remaining devices.

I've done some searching on the internet and still can't find anything that isn't some software that you have to pay for (that I doubt works).


I've tried looking for driver updates on my Windows 8 partition but it says that none could be found.


 


So can anyone help me out?


 


Laptop Model: Asus X550CA


 


Thanks in advance.

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/X550CA/HelpDesk_Download/ - So you've installed most of the drivers from here? Including Wireless, Lan, Chipset, Utilities -> ATKACPI driver and hotkey-related utilities, USB 3 drivers etc ?

 

Edit: There's also some kind of "Asus Live Update" under Utilities, have you checked that one out ?

I can not post links ofr WiFi + Bluetooth with out knowing what adapter your notebook came with

 

 

Thanks so much that worked. I was just looking for the names there were under the Device Manager so I missed all of that. My bad. :P

 

And I found the WiFi and Bluetooth drivers.

 

Thanks again.
