One way is to directly check what the item is. When in Device Manager, right click on the unknown item. Select Properties. Then check for the Hardware Id, located here:

Then right click and copy the ID given.

Next, post the ID on google to identify the driver. Then use the manufacturer website to download it.

For a laptop, you should almost always download drivers directly from the manufacturer, so Acer for this laptop. Downloading drivers from any other website puts you at very high risk of getting malware.

For starters, download everything on the Acer support website and install it. If anything is left over, then search for it using google. Here's the corrected link:

Usually, the missing driver will be the Card Reader and the WiFi.
