    I also to meant to say ***should I download windows 10?*** in the thread title.

    I downloaded the driver for the video card from the nvidia website but I do not know which ones to download from the Sager website. The device manager is showing four other devices with the yellow triangle which are PCI device, PCI simple communications controller, SM bus controller, and unknown device.

    I'm looking at the miscellaneous section but a lot of them seem kind of pointless, I just want to make sure I'm downloading the right ones. I think I should download the airplane mode since that button doesn't work when I press it. Also, should I download windows 10 after considering that these drivers are for windows 8.1.

    I just installed a new msata ssd so I only have like mozilla firefox installed if that makes any difference.

    Sager doesn't do really any bloatware so i'd download most everything if you don't have it yet. Functionality typically shows the missing pieces the best if you can't tell from the device manager. It could be the intel video driver that is not installed if the Nvidia is functioning.

    There's a couple threads on here discussing W10 for example -

    I like windows 10 and most of the drivers should port over fairly easily, but as you see there are some issues :)

    Yeah I upgraded to 10 and did a clean install of windows 10. It actually got all the drivers automatically and I noticed some drivers I never thought I had like the synaptics pointing device(even though I prefer the feel without it on). I got this laptop like in January form xotic. I just upgraded from the crucial msata ssd 120gb to a msata ssd samsung 250gb like a week ago. One question though should I use system protection on windows 10, I remember it was on by default on windows 8.1 and now its off by default on windows 10. Is there anything I should worry about?

    If you wanted to revert back to a previous date that would allow you to do so. If you have a backup disc it might not be necessary but might be nice if you ever install something that doesn't work properly and you have issues getting it off, you could just restore to the previous date :)
