Asus A550JK laptop

[Geertt2]

Recently, i bought an Asus A550JK laptop. It comes with Windows 8 pre-installed. However I dislike Windows 8 therefore I installed Windows 7. Now I am encountering problems with the computer.

Problems I am having
1.) Wifi drivers does not install because it is "turned off" for some reason. (I got the drivers from Asus website)
2.) cannot install integrated graphics drivers. (I got the drivers from Asus website)
3.) cannot install nvidia drivers because it says I need to install the integrated drivers first.

Any help will be appreciated.

Easy fix for you.
Go to intel's site and download the graphics driver manually.
Do the same for the network card and download the drivers from the manufacturer's site.
Install them both.
The nvidia drivers should not be a problem, if it shows any problem, go to Nvidia's site and get the drivers.
This should sort out your problem.

Is there a way to figure out the wifi card's brand? Asus website says its Qualcom aetheros but when I had Win8 it said its Broadcom or is it that they are the same company?

Download both. Install them both and see which works. The official site doesn't specify anything. Also, if you can somehow connect it to the internet using a network dongle, you can use the Iobit Driver Booster 2 utility. It will automatically search for the latest drivers and install them.
