So I just reinstalled Windows 7 on my laptop to get rid of all the bloatware it came bundled with.
Now I will need to install Ethernet Drivers, because Windows 7 itself doesn't seem to have any proper drivers for the Ethernet card in my laptop.
When I stumbled upon the driver download page (It's an Acer laptop by the way), I noticed that - when I select Windows 8 as the OS - it actually gives me a newer version of the LAN drivers.

So since I have Windows 7 installed on my laptop, should I use the Windows 7 drivers or should I use the Windows 8 drivers? (Because they seem to be newer)
Or could there be compatiblity issues or something?
