    Hello everyone!

    I have made a rather worrying discovery with my new W650SJ. It appears on the Clevo website currently there are only windows 8 drivers...

    Currently I own and wish to continue to run windows 7 on my other machines.

    Does anyone have any info on this before I return my machine as being falsely advertised to me under windows 7.

    Any help would be great!

    your welcome. clevo doesnt seem to update drivers once the lappys are released. always best to get latest from resellers or suppliers.

    this is the norm though. they release the lappys with their original drivers and you buy them from resellers. it is upto the resellers to keep the drivers upto date.

    Oh I know. Same story with the BIOS. Just saying that Clevo makes the machines and the reseller does everything else (or doesn't do anything else, depending on who it is).
