So I just reinstalled my gf's laptop with windows 7 and having a headache with the wifi drivers.
I've tried to install so many different wlan drivers but none of them works. Some does not even installing, some can be installed but then nothing happens...I need some help asap.

Some more info:
In the Device Manager, the network adapter does not even shown
On the acer website, the wlan driver can be downloaded only for win 8.1 or win 10, but no win7
The ones I found on different websites for win7 do not work at all

 
Solution
This laptop is not support windows 7 anymore. I have tried install touchpad driver on a laptop that doesn't support windows 7 and no luck. I reinstalled that laptop using win10 and all drivers work fine.
Best promising solution for you is to reinstall using win8 or win10 because on the website, it only support that two OS.
If you don't want to reinstall, try use driverpack solutions on drp.su. Or you can try search manually the wlan manufacturer and version then search the driver on some different website. This will take you more time.
