If you’ve just reinstalled Windows or bought a second-hand Acer Aspire E5-473G, chances are some hardware isn’t
working properly. Missing sound, unstable Wi-Fi, a non-responsive touchpad, or the discrete NVIDIA GPU not showing
up are common issues on this model.
This guide collects every official driver Acer released for the Aspire E5-473G on both
Windows 8.1 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit. All links point straight to Acer’s
Global Download Center — no third-party packs, no modified files.
Tip before you start: Open Device Manager and note the exact names under Network adapters, Display
adapters, Sound, video and game controllers, and Bluetooth. The E5-473G shipped with several different
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules (Atheros NFA335, NFA435, Intel, Broadcom). Installing the wrong package can cause more
problems than it solves.
How to Install the Drivers Correctly
Follow this order for the best results:
- Chipset
- Graphics (Intel + NVIDIA if present)
- Audio
- LAN and Wireless LAN
- Bluetooth
- Touchpad and Card Reader
- BIOS (only if needed)
Extract each ZIP file, run the setup (or right-click the .inf and choose Install), then restart when prompted.
After everything is installed, check Device Manager again — there should be no yellow exclamation marks left.

About the BIOS update: Only flash the BIOS if you are experiencing specific issues that the release
notes address. Make sure the laptop is plugged into AC power and the battery is above 50%. Never interrupt a BIOS
update.
Common Problems & Quick Fixes
- No audio after installing Windows 10 — Install the Realtek Audio driver listed above and
restart.
- Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting — Confirm whether you have an Atheros NFA335, NFA435, Intel or
Broadcom card in Device Manager, then install only the matching package.
- Touchpad gestures missing — Use the ELANTECH or Synaptics driver that matches your hardware.
- NVIDIA GPU not detected — Install both the Intel and NVIDIA packages, then reboot.
