No drivers for win7

[Kestas]

I bought new laptop ASUS R540L. Without windows and drivers usb ports dont work, i got my hands on acient dvd rw disc and installed windows 7 on the laptop, only keyboard, cd player works... There are only drivers for winfows 10 64bit, tried those, wont work on windows 7, + there is no "usb" driver. Its forcing me to use windows -0 but is it possible to make windows 7 usable???? Im tired of this shit

my "rule of thumb" is if the laptop was not released with the operating system that I am seeking then it is going to have poor/unsupported drivers. You have a fairly new Celeron so I would not get my hopes up that a OS released in '09 will work. Linux does it's magic in this scenario with open source drivers; works on my celeron i bought last year. At that bottom end (non-enterprise/business) you are going to get shit options under the Microsoft business model.

try driver identifier it finds all sorts of drives that won't be on the manufacturer's website,

You absolutely will need drivers if you want your system to work.

Yes support for Windows7 and Windows8.1 alike are dropped by Hardware manufacturers.

Which means that most of them dont offer drivers or support for those EOL operating systems.

Your best bett would be either install that piece of mallicious shit called Windows10.

Or you could go Linux.

 

If you are a student, then you could get a version of Windows10 Enterprise LTSB, which doesnt contain most of the garbage that normal Windows10 has.

 

But my suggestion, go Linux if you dont need Windows10 persee.

You are out of luck there as ASUS are only going to provide drivers for the OS the laptop originally shipped with. Your only option is Win10 or linux.

You can try to go alternative route and go directly for source. Meaning getting chipset drivers from Intel/AMD/VIA, audio from RealTek, LAN from VIA/RealTek etc.
