    So I just bought my wife an Acer Computer Multimedia Powerhouse AS5738Z-4372 15.6" Notebook.
    Working on backing it up, removing bloatware and updating stuff in general.

    When I checked the Acer site for Drivers and application I got stumped on something.
    There can be multiple files for certain parts of the laptop.
    (ie: VGA Driver for Intel or nVidia)

    Am I suppose to use all the Drivers or am I suppose to find out which part the laptop has for that specific driver type?

    Also, How do I update the BIOS for this?
    Its been a while :D
