Acer extensa 4220 Windows 7 Drivers

 Please read first, i installed several windows 7 operating system in old acer model and I found that only certain driver is missing, NOT ALL. So here is the driver list so that you can install the driver you needed. Important thing to keep in mind is IF the driver is working properly do not install the driver again. Example your audio and wifi is working, do not install it again because windows already installed generic driver for the device.
For your information, in acer website they only provide 3 drivers for windows 7 for this model which is infrared, fingerprint and card reader.
If you want to check which driver is missing in windows 7 you can check out my tutorial here:
