If you know the manufacturer of the part that needs an update, you can check their website. You should be suspicious of any place that charges for something the hardware manufacturers provide for free.

For example, to get an update for the AMD Radeon HD 7770 in my desktop, I'd go to the AMD website and get the driver there. May take a bit of searching, but I'm sure you can do it.

Microsoft might supply drivers, but they will be basic drivers and may not be the most up to date drivers. Acer may have more recent drivers, also.
