Give me all the list my laptop's drivers that need and do not need.

[versed pivot]

This month, I will be downgrading all of the laptop's drivers because of the shitty Driver Easy. Since I uninstalled it, old drivers cannot restore since they pay you for their business and make more money. Now I CANNOT REVERT IT BACK because I reset my laptop 1 month ago on December 2022. Now I need your help to give the list of my drivers from the website: https://www.acer.com/ph-en/support?search=037002297223;NX.HUNSP.001;A514-53&filter=global_download so that my laptop is more stable. You might know the acer website is different because this is the Philippines website of acer. THIS IS OFFICIAL AND NOT FAKE. I don't know what to install, what if install like Touchpad driver or things that may damage the laptop.

You will likely need all drivers for your laptop to function properly.

This driver list seems to show all computer parts (that need drivers), one by one.

You can trust Acer, since that's where your computer came from, and it probably came with all these drivers pre-installed. Updating them with latest versions from their website might be a good idea.

Also should I install the touchpad driver like I already have a touchpad functioning well

And idk what's turbo boost

[versed pivot]

if intel bluetooth driver then intel or both

[analog harness]

Simply, all. I've seen there are two bluetooth drivers, but I think that your laptop simply has two bluetooth modules.

[versed pivot]

like this?

[versed pivot]

@analog harness

[analog harness]

Yes, I think you can install both.

[versed pivot]

ok

[versed pivot]

Then what about this?

[analog harness]

It also seems to be made for different VGA's.

[grim comet]

SN specific

[versed pivot]

ok then

Drivers from reputable vendors will also tell you if no applicable device was found for example. Most of the time whilst downloading drivers for Dell/HP for example, if there's multiple versions of say a bluetooth driver, it'll let you install the correct one for the bluetooth card you have but not the other one.

[versed pivot]

if I only have the Intel Bluetooth driver in the device manager do I need atheros or not

[analog harness]

I think you can just install everything one by one, and it should be fine.

[versed pivot]

just to be sure I have only have intel wireless bluetooth

[versed pivot]

@analog harness

Since you have a Intel Bluetooth, you should install the AX201 driver

[versed pivot]

what about this it didnt show what touchpad driver im using but the touchpad works and idk which brand i should pick?

my touchpad is labelled HID-compliant mouse in the bottom

[swift anchor]

Try double clicking on either of those and see if either of them say Synaptics of Elantech

Also doesn't Acer have something where if you enter the serial number of your laptop it'll automatically show you a list of drivers specific to that model?

[versed pivot]

Yes I already did that, still same webpage of the driver list

Anyways if the touchpad driver is from Microsoft, I think I do not need to install it since there is no other brand's touchpad driver in my laptop.

HID-compliant mouse driver is made from Microsoft

There are 2, one for touchpad, and the another for my mouse

[versed pivot]

They are from Microsoft

[manic mountain]

you need most of them unless you dont need bluetooth or something like that

[versed pivot]

@swift anchor Should I install it or nah?

the touchpad drivers

[swift anchor]

check trackpad settings in windows settings to see if your laptop has the precision trackpad, if it does you're most likely using the microsoft drivers, if not then its probably smth else

[versed pivot]

Is this the one?

[swift anchor]

crap i forgot windows doesnt tell you if you have one in settings anymore because microsoft thought it would be hilarious if they removed it, since you say they seem to be using the microsoft drivers, i suggest you try and reinstall windows and if the trackpad works fine after running all the windows updates then don't install the synaptics/elantech drivers, if it doesnt work then try installing one of them

[versed pivot]

dude

i did it 2 months ago

[swift anchor]

what

[versed pivot]

check windows updates

[swift anchor]

i meant after reinstalling windows

[swift anchor]

oh im a moron

[versed pivot]

i check windows updates to see which drivers are missing

[swift anchor]

nvm

[versed pivot]

only the graphics driver

[swift anchor]

just leave it alone if the trackpad works fine rn

if it works fine then i dont think you'll need the synaptics/elantech drivers

[versed pivot]

ok

[versed pivot]

@swift anchor does Setup_Driver file install the driver?

[swift anchor]

It should, or maybe it'll make your computer explode

[grim comet]

The Best way to see a List of Drivers is to compare against a Hardware Vendor List

You take the Vendor ID and Hardware ID

Put them in

And it tells you which Devoce you sou need

[versed pivot]

yes but the setup_driver file is im talking about

[vital hornet]

you still havent managed to install the drivers?..

[versed pivot]

im doing that

List of drivers I'm gonna downgrade:
Airplane Mode Driver
Audio Driver
Bluetooth Driver (AX201)
Chipset Driver
Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Driver
Intel SGX (Software Guard Extension) Driver
Serial IO Driver
IRST (Intel® Rapid Storage Technology) Driver
ISST (Intel® Smart Sound Technology) Driver
LAN Driver
Storage Driver
Turbo Boost Driver
VGA Driver
Wireless LAN Driver (AX201)

One thing that I am confused about is the setup file

I dont like using Device Manager because Driver Easy won't let me show what drivers I installed on my PC.

Because it is a premium feature

Most drivers have the file called "Setup_Driver". Do I need to use Setup_Driver or I should install all .inf files in one driver?

Here is an example:

[vital hornet]

those files are from the acer website?..

[versed pivot]

Exactly

I don't even include utilities but do I need them?

[vital hornet]

shouldnt the files include some .exe files or something?...

[versed pivot]

All of them have the Setup_Driver file excluding the audio driver and the graphics driver I think?

[vital hornet]

Hm...you probably need to launch those setup_driver.bat files...did you run them as admin?..

[versed pivot]

I haven't tried that yet. But I am not going to open the bat file until this is a install file

[vital hornet]

you can run bat file as admin ...

[versed pivot]

Ok but what about the utility driver. Do I also need to install them

[vital hornet]

Chipset utility?...you shouldnt avoid anything that says chipset...

[versed pivot]

Oh should I?

Should I install utility drivers also?

[vital hornet]

if you want..yes!

[versed pivot]

i think its not a bat file

It's a Windows Command Script

I dont know what is this?
