Is there any way to get back to win7? I cant find the drivers

All you have to do is format the hard drive and install Windows 7. As for the drivers I am sure you can get drivers to work, you may have to mix and match, look for an older model that comes with Win7, and search the drivers for that model, should work, most of the components are the same. But I have not done it to this particular system... I want to cause Win8 is crap!!! But I have done this before on other systems and it worked so....

I don't think there is. This computer purchase was the biggest mistake I have ever made and unfortunately I could not return it. HP didn't get a win on this one.

If you can get it to work at all will not work on windows 7 because you can not load drivers and there is no support what so ever

Here is what someone on newegg.com said about the drivers: "Other Thoughts: If your accustom to reinstalling windows, booting from a flash thumb drive is a bit more tricky then a CD. There's plenty of advice and step-by-steps out there. Acer made a hidden driver folder under the C:\ if you unhide all your folder view options and want to reinstall windows I recommend you backup that "Acer" driver directory, it contains the Sata hdd drivers which are really hard to find on the web since this is a new machine."

WIN 7 Drivers at http://www.displaylink.com/support/downloads.php This is actually a Displaylink product.

Sorry, I only have windows 7. I'd be shocked if it was not, however. Windows automatically provides drivers for these kinds of devices.

Unfortunately not, I bet you could troll around google and find some drivers but it doesn't come with any and Windows is clueless. As always, the cheapest solutions turns out to be the worst one :)

I have the same question. I want to send one to my sister in-law and she has Windows 7. I guess I will have to do a Google research if no one answers here.

I got my unit a couple years ago when Win7 x64 was pretty new. My mini-cd did not come with the correct driver. However, I was able to download the driver needed.

You can switch to Windows 7 if you want, but that requires that you have an install disc and it will require that you hunt down compatible drivers otherwise it won't come close to peak performance.

I have Windows 7 and couldn't get it to work either so I returned it. Sorry.

No. Don't waste your time. I'm on W7, the drivers won't install. If you look up the forum, a lot of customers face the same problem.

It auto-detected and istalled in Win7 for me. I think Windows supports and is bundled with most "stardard" drivers (eg. FTDI?). If it didn't detect/install I suspect you either have a conflict(check device manager) ot the device is broken.

Drivers automatically found and downloaded for Win7 32 bit no problem. I was not able to get drivers for Windows XP.

You could try this website: www.mustek.de as I was able to download the Windows 8 drivers from there. If nothing can be found there, then try Mustek customer service. As you can see this is the European website, however, this is where I was able to get the help that I needed. Hope this helps, David
