    Windows Update should take care of the necessary drivers for you.

    There are also programs like DriverPack Solution(Recommended) or DriverMax or slimdriver that will take care of those drivers

    For a laptop, always get the drivers for your operating system from the manufacturer of your laptop. That means a trip to the Acer website:

    Acer | Download

    Unfortunately, in this case, the drivers are only for Win 8. Snoop around the Acer site and see if you can find Win 7 drivers for a similar laptop to yours. Keep in mind that Acer only supports Win 8 on this laptop and you may not be able to get the proper Win 7 drivers for it.

    Go to Acer website, then menu Drivers, you can choose what computer you have and you can download all drivers. Thats how i found them for my Acer Aspire 5750G.

    You really should read the other posts before posting yourself ... because in post #4, the site was checked and it only has drivers for Win8.
