Well it depends tom on what the system is and what it is.
Generally at least with what I know, dells, toshibas and asus at any
rate use almost the same hardware.
Amd display and hd audio amd driver detect should help you there.
the processer and a few other things are intel
intel driver update can help with this.
Your soundcard network, card readers and maybe a usb controler or 2
as well as wireless are all realtech.
You should be able to get synaptic mice drivers.
Windows update should have things like hdd protection sensors.
On the down side, you won't have your bluetooth driver and most
toshibas use a rtl 81223 ae n wireless card whicdh since I can not
find it on realtech's site means its customised.
aparently linovo use the same driver for that one.
You would loose out on spaciffic drivers like bluetooth, extra
moniters and your webcam.
Toshiba has this.
While you will clear a lot of bloat by just using drivers, I found
out by trial and error that there are a lot of things you miss.
ie toshiba's various access to hardware settings and pc health checks.
and a few extras.
Where possible I try to update the generic drivers with more stable
ones from the site.
However there are things like your smedia usb controler or your
customised intel firmware eengine and other stuff that may not be on
your generic update site.

Hi Danielle,
If you can find the Windows 7 drivers for your computer its possible
to install Windows 7 on it. A lot depends on if you can find hardware
drivers for your system. Although, that shouldn't be a problem since
its a newer machine and I would think the hardware is still backwards
compatible with Windows 7.
As far as obtaining Windows 7 there are a number of online venders who
sell it. I'd have to check but one that comes to mind is Amazon. Of
course, you can order a retail copy from Microsoft as well. Still, I'd
recommend just sticking with Windows 8 rather than installing Windows
7 on that machine.
Cheers!
