Acer Aspire 4736z Drivers for WIndows XP Vista 7 8

Today my cousin sent me an Acer notebook and ask me to check it because it is too slow and often not responding. I found that the system was in complete mess with too many security and registry optimizer program. So I decide to install windows 7 32-bit (fresh install) since it only have 2GB of RAM. I choose windows 7 over XP and Vista because she used to work with windows 7.

Do I need to install all drivers?
Windows Xp : yes
Windows Vista : Yes
Windows 7/8/8.1 : yes
*Please read note becuase there are certain drivers have more than 1 drivers choices, you need to install it base on the note given.

Where is the driver version?
Just look at the download link, it contain the driver version with OS compatibility.

Ralink merged with mediatek on January 7th 2013, so you will need to download from mediatek support if you are using ralink wireless for the latest drivers. You also can choose to stick with current drivers because updating to the latest drivers only show slight improvement.

Latest Drivers for your graphic is available on Nvidia and Intel site or just run windows automatic updates.

Do let me know if you have problems installing the drivers.
