What to do if a driver is not available for your OS

So I bought a cheap pc racing wheel that is quite old just for some fun.

Looking at the website of the manufacturer, drivers are only available for Windows 7, not windows 8 or 8.1.

Currently, I am running Windows 8.1 pro.

So, do I just download the windows 7 drivers and hope they work?

Or just see if the default windows drivers work?

I have not received it yet, so I am just trying to figure it out. I should get it tomorrow (i think USPS ships in new year's eve.

Thanks and happy new year! :bounce:
