Lenovo IdeaPad Z380, Z480, Z580 Drivers for Windows XP/7/8/8.1

All drivers officially released by Lenovo, I re-make the driver list base on installation order and add more details on the description. Lenovo provide support for Windows XP, 7, 8 and 8.1 for this model so it is not recommended to use Windows Vista.
This drivers also support all Ideapad Z Series.

• USB 3.0 : If you upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 (not a clean installation), Uninstall USB 3.0 Drivers first or the USB port will not function properly. Windows 8  and 8.1 have its' own native driver for USB 3.0. Failed to Uninstall before the upgrade process will forbid Windows 8 to install the compatible drivers. 


• Boot Time : Don't expect Windows 8 boot time is faster than Windows 7, the only way to increase your boot time is to install Intel Rapid Storage Technology. But remember, Intel Rapid Storage Technology originally build for Windows 7. 


• Synaptic Touchpad : If after installing the touchpad drivers resulting in error (somehow there are uers report about this issue), download and install the latest drivers released by synaptic here.

MSI CR460 Drivers and Details

MSI CR460 series basically use windows 8 or 8.1 as it default operating system. You can also downgrade into Windows 7 since MSI also released drivers and support for Windows 7. The specific model name may varies, example you may own MSI CR460 (MS-145A), regardless of the specific model name, all CR460 series uses the same driver sets.

Changes I made from the original driver list:
1. Arrange the drivers installation in order. So please install according to the order given.
2. Exclude certain utility (which I think not important).
3. I do not listed the driver version because you can see the driver version on the download link itself.
4. If you are using Windows 8.1, just install windows 8 drivers.
