    Hey!

    New Z owner over here and it is awesome. I plan on continuing to use Win7 for a couple of months before upgrading to Win8 and was hoping in the meantime if we could somehow form a comprehensive list of Vaio Z Drivers/Software to install after a Windows 8 clean install. I'll admit I'm kind of a novice at this kind of thing and any help is greatly appreciated. The driver page on Sony's website is incomplete for Windows 8 (confirmed) and i was hoping a comprehensive list of necessary/beneficial drivers could be developed to help people like myself.

    Much thanks

    Which Z? There are several.

    I'll assume the latest, the SVZ.

    Not sure what you're looking for that's not already provided by Sony?

    Sony eSupport - SVZ13116GXX - Support

    Their W8 section seems complete other than official PMD support which sounds like it won't ever come. You can use the Leshcat drivers as a work around.
