Acer Windows 8 Drivers

/ Comments off

If you have upgraded your PC to Windows 8, or purchased new Acer hardware and find that it is not working properly, you may need to update your drivers. Like every other Windows operating system, Windows 8 requires drivers that have been designed and developed specifically for it.

Acer One 14 released for Windows 8.1 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit. That's why you will only find 2 OS supported drivers on Acer website. Since most people currently prefer Windows 7 over Windows 8 and 10, here I list out all drivers for Windows 7,8 and 10.

After upgrading to Windows 8, some users report having issues with network connectivity, unstable WiFi connections or problems with their video card or graphics processor, particularly on gaming systems. In some cases, the PC fails to detect the printer, or reports that their printer is not working. Sometimes generic messages such as Windows 8 cannot load the drivers appear after an operating system upgrade.

The problem is that all connected devices, including Acer devices, need updated drivers to work properly under Windows 8. If you have recently updated to Windows 8, or your new Windows 8 computer, laptop or notebook fails to recognize your old devices, you also need to update all Acer drivers in order to fix problems related to your Acer hardware.

Acer Windows 8 Network Drivers

Acer produces their model with variation of WiFi cards and the reason could be base on region or other factors. Acer Notebook commonly uses Intel, Atheros or Broadcom WiFi card. In certain cases they use Ralink and several current model (2018 and above) uses Realtek. Atheros also known as Qualcomm Atheros and Ralink also known as Mediatek.


First you need to identify which WiFi drivers you need to install.
Open device manager (right click on windows icon and select device manager).
You should see the wireless vendor name displayed on the list.
Laptop
If it only shows network controller with exclamation mark or 802.11n Wireless card. Then,
Right click on the network controller and select properties.
On the drop down menu select Hardware ID.
Copy and paste the hardware ID on Google search you will find most of the result will display the same Wireless vendor. Check out my post on how to check hardware ID.

Acer did not list drivers base on hardware, but base on Models, so here I make the list of WiFi/Wireless drivers provide by Acer. (All links are from Acer Server).

Model released before Windows 8 (before 2012).
Normally the model name 'Acer Aspire' and followed by 4 numbers such as '4735'
