    And there are no Windows 8 drivers for this laptop at all..

    Ideas? I don't even know if all the other drivers installed properly either lol which i think they probably did not!

    So I'm coming to see what others have done with their laptop running Win8?

    Windows 7 drivers should work fine for most of the things. When I had Win 8 installed, I used all drivers supplied with my lappy for Win 7 except for graphics driver and touchpad.

    And if your devices show up in Device Manager with no exclamation mark, and the status says "This device is working properly", then unless you're having malfunctions, your drivers should be fine. :)

    It's usually best to get the drivers from the component manufacturer's site, also - just to ensure you're getting the latest available driver.
