    Thanks for the link. Sager started using 8.1 on the 5th, its nice to see the drivers are up now, makes things easier for people upgrading to it.

    Upgraded (well, fresh install) of 8.1 on my 8265 today using Sager's provided drivers.

    Only issue I've found so far is that the keyboard light utility is much bigger than the screen, so you have to scroll around to see it. Weird. Other than that it's all good in the 'hood!

    Also, there is a Windows 8.1 BIOS and EC out as well.

    P150SM/P151SM1/P157SM/P170SM/P177SM Series

    I can't take credit for the site but I believe it's run by a forum member here and is pretty handy I must say

    Hey All,

    I was just need to repair my realtec audio driver and I have windows 7 ult. Does anyone know if the windows 8.1 is compatible? They don't leave another option for windows 7 so I am starting to think they are... Anyone test this theory?

    7 and 8 use similar platforms, but there's no guarantee the 8(.1) driver will work on Windows 7. You can test it out, and if it doesn't work, remove it from within Device Manager.
