    So, with only a day to go, I decided to install another instance of Windows 7 on a separate partition and upgrade it to Windows 10 (while it was still being offered for free).

    Except, I was swapping between partitions/installations while doing other stuff around the house and upgraded my 'main' Windows7 partition. No biggie, everything works fine so far and I've found drivers for just about everything after searching Notebook review.

    (This was helpful in case anyone else finds my post thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/aw-m17r-x4-windows-10-upgrade-drivers.782411/)


    I've already gone through the settings and disabled Signed Driver Enforcement
    ( http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answer...windows-10:-disable-signed-driver-enforcement)

    However, I'm not sure which nVidia drivers I should be installing for my 680m.
    Does anyone have experience with a preferred driver set for the m17x R2 ?

    I was thinking of just going with the most recent GeForce 369.00 drivers
