Installing Windows 8 on Laptop

[Ryuk]

I have a acer aspire 7741Z-5731 laptop.  Im trying to install windows 8, however, when I go to do the install it says I need some driver which, I dont know what.  I have to do a reinstall of 7 but, I need to learn 8 for where I work.

maybe you can backup win 7, then upgrde to win 8. during upgrade process, upgrade application will download required driver if that piece of hardware is supported on win 8

if you encounter problem upgrading, skip upgrading/migrating application, only migrate personal data

I'm only trying to get it to run for about thridy days till we become famiular with it.  Not upgrade this unit.  If I can't get it working I'll just do a fresh install of windows 7. I'm going to try wipeing 7 off maybe cause, it is curppted but, I don't know

CLOSED, Needed Windows 7 more then I needed Windows 8.
