  Instead of all your complaining, why don't you just put the (install
versions) of the drivers on the laptop? 'Problem' solved.

  Elsewhere you mention that the harddisk failed before anyboody had
bothered to make backup of it and hence of the Acer recovery partition.
That was hardly Acer's fault, was it?

  As to other brands doing things differently: As Winston mentioned,
Acer's practice is quite common. The in-support period of a product is
the time to get the brand/model specific software and documentation. No
sense in whingeing long after the fact.

  FYI, I checked for my previous 2015 HP Pavilion 15-p142nd laptop,
which came with Windows 8/8.1 and the HP Support site also no longer has
software for that laptop, so similar to Acer.

  Finally, why is this crossposted to the Windows 11 group?
