    The drivers are here:
    https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/...series/svz1311c5e?downloads-num=110#downloads
    After going there, hit CTRL-F and search for "windows 7" so it will highlight all the windows 7 files.

    you'll want to install, in order:
    1. sony shared library.
    2. sony firmware extension parser device.
    3. sony notebook utilities.

    that should get your sony / function buttons working.
    after that you can check windows device manager to see if your missing any other drivers.

    I believe that is the correct order, but you may want to search through this thread to make sure:

    (search for install order)
