Steve Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If you've got a valid license key, download Windows XP and then register it using your existing key. Acer have a section for drivers on their website: - http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 xp will be a few gigs tho right? (shockingly slow net connection here!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's about 650 MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 ah cool, i'm guessing it can't just be downloaded from microsoft right? but who do i know a torrent is a good copy (the license key is still on a sticker underneath) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's not available to download without pirating it. As for knowing if a pirate copy is good or not, you can't really. The comments might help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
