Need help finding "Killer network" driver and a network control

I just want to say before you read my concerns. I have downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate on a semi-modern laptop because i wanted to see if i could get it to function. This isn't my main computer, just a project for me.

So I recently decided to get my Acer Predator 300 ( Model Number: Predator PH315-51 ) to run Windows 7 Ultimate. My biggest problems seem to be that i have almost 0 drivers for it...
Using a program called "Snappy Driver installer" I was able to see what the drivers I needed are. The big one I need is the wireless network connector. Which I believe I found the right one here: Acer ACER Drivers Download for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP. Due to my Ethernet port being broken on my computer, I cant connect my laptop to my router. The Acer driver, (the link before) the "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" says it needs me to have something called "Killer Hardware" and when trying to install the program it says:

"No Killer Hardware was detected
You must have proper killer hardware installed in order to install Killer Performance Suite"


Ive been unable to find a "Killer Hardware" for Acer or for windows 7. I think I may have found what I need on: https://support.lenovo.com/np/en/downloads/ds118061
However, it requires me to have a product code, and as stated previously im running an Acer computer. So I cant access the download page. If anyone may have an alternative website I could use to get the driver, or you have a different solution id appropriate the help.

Ive attached two screenshots from my windows 7 computer saying what it needs. If you need me to provide anymore screenshots, I'd gladly do so! :)))

Thanks for anyone reading

EDIT

So More problems arose, Me and my friend found what we needed to install, the:
"No Killer Hardware was detected
You must have proper killer hardware installed in order to install Killer Performance Suite"


Now theres a second problem, we found "Killer Performance Suite" now we are here Killer Preformance wont work.png

everything should be running fine (in theory) but its not...

Hey everyone! If you are wondering what the update is. From my looking there is plausibly no (existing as of current) software for the drivers to work on the
Predator PH315-51. I checked in with someone who's more experienced with computers than i am, there's a good chance i may need to replace the network card on my motherboard itself.

Hey torch thanks for responding :))

I’ll look through that site when I wake up. But quick question. What’s the best way to look up what motherboard you have? Without doing a goose chase on the internet.

Could I look in bios? Or some sort of spec checker? Since I know for certain that it’s running intel. But I don’t know if I need any more information…
