How to use this page
Device Driver Guide does not host installers. Read the family page for the hardware you own, work out which package applies to your exact model and Windows edition, then use the official-source citation provided for that decision. A component-branded family may still require the company that built your computer or motherboard rather than Acer; follow the declared package source on the family page.
Reference coverage is recorded separately for each family in the comparison below, not as one compatibility list for this manufacturer. These labels describe the scope of the reference, not certified compatibility or continuing Windows support. Confirm the exact device or PC model, hardware revision, Windows release, and package requirements with the manufacturer before making a change.

Bluetooth
Acer validates Bluetooth drivers for its Aspire, Swift, Predator, and desktop lines, matching the radio to the wireless card in each configuration. The underlying silicon can be Intel, Realtek, or another vendor, so Acer's model-specific package removes the guesswork of picking a generic radio build.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact radio or peripheral model, package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceBiometrics
Acer offers fingerprint readers on select laptops to support password-free sign-in through Windows Hello. Because Acer sources sensors from more than one vendor, the correct driver is the one Acer lists for your model or serial number rather than a generic build.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where the exact PC or reader model lists support
Read the full family referenceGraphics & Video
Acer publishes display drivers validated for the graphics configuration in each of its laptops and desktops, including hybrid models that pair integrated and discrete GPUs. These OEM builds account for the panel, firmware, and power behavior of a specific Acer model, which a generic installer may not handle cleanly.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where the selected package lists this GPU or PC model
Read the full family referenceCard Readers
Across the Aspire, Swift, and Predator ranges, Acer builds in a card slot whose controller relies on an OEM driver. The version to install is the one Acer publishes for your specific model, because it is validated with the firmware on that machine.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceEthernet & LAN
Acer lists wired-network packages for desktops and laptops by model or serial number. Because configurations can use different Realtek or Intel controllers, compare the support-page package with Device Manager and the installed Windows version.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact controller, hardware revision, system or board package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceWebcams
This is the lid-camera driver for Acer laptops across the Aspire, Swift, and Predator ranges, provided through Acer's system software. It handles the standard color image and installs by model.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where the exact camera or PC model lists support
Read the full family referenceBiometrics
This is the infrared camera Acer uses for facial recognition on systems that support Windows Hello face sign-in. It shows up as its own camera device beside the ordinary webcam, and only the IR entry drives Hello.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where the exact PC or reader model lists support
Read the full family referenceModems
Acer has offered cellular connectivity on selected laptop configurations. Use the model or serial number, identify the installed Wwan module, and verify the package's operating-system applicability.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact model, hardware revision, package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceMonitors & Displays
This family is a model-search path, not evidence that every Predator, Nitro, CB, or CBA display has an INF and profile. Check the exact Acer model and revision for available monitor, color, utility, or firmware files.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact model
Read the full family referenceNetwork & Wi-Fi
Acer lists network packages by model, but similar configurations can contain different controllers. Compare the Wi-Fi or Ethernet package's device and Windows applicability with Device Manager.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact adapter, system or board model, package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceKeyboards
This Acer software enables the function-key actions and quick-settings controls on Aspire, Swift, and Predator laptops, including brightness, volume, and wireless toggles. It is specific to each model line, so identify your exact Acer model before installing.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceTouchpads
The Swift is Acer's thin-and-light consumer line, and its touchpads generally use the Windows precision path for smooth gestures. The package Acer validates for a given Swift model tunes the pad for that thinner chassis, including palm rejection while typing.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceBios & Uefi
Acer system firmware serves the Aspire, Swift, Predator, and Nitro ranges and comes only from Acer for the exact model. It performs the platform startup and holds the machine's settings.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact model and firmware package
Read the full family referenceMotherboard Chipset
Acer validates chipset drivers for its desktops and laptops, matching the AMD or Intel platform driver to the board Acer shipped in each model. As with other prebuilt makers, the OEM package accounts for firmware and power tuning a generic file may not.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact platform package
Read the full family referenceTouchpads
Acer packages touchpad drivers per model across its Aspire, Swift, and Predator lines, wrapping the Synaptics or Elan sensor in a build tested for that chassis. The supplier inside varies by configuration, so Acer's model-specific package is the more dependable way to get matching palm rejection and gestures.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceUSB & Thunderbolt
Acer support may list USB-C, Thunderbolt, platform, or dock items for a particular computer or accessory. Availability and packaging vary: a controller driver and dock firmware are not necessarily bundled, and an Acer model lookup does not guarantee video, network, or charging compatibility with every dock.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact controller or device package
