Hi.

Welcome to the forum GuruTitan01.

You can install Windows 8 so it is the most current version with drivers.

You can download windows 8 from this link:https://www.microsoft.com/es-mx/software-download/windows8

If you have no paid license for Windows 8/8.1 downloading and trying to install it will just result in an unregisted operating system which will not work properly. Installing any Windows operating system on your laptop other than the original version will require purchasing it.
