If you look on the bottom of your laptop you'll find the Clevo model number (the chassis is made by Clevo). I think the 15" Optimus V is a W350ST but you'd better check. Then go to the Clevo download site at http://clevo.com/en/e-services/download.asp from where you can download all the Windows 8 drivers for your laptop. In the selection list for model type you'll need W35xST/W37xST if your model number is W350ST as I suspect it is. If your model number is different you should be able to figure out which entry is for yours.

.......... and check the discs that came with the laptop. I know I had 3 with mine, the W7 operating system, drivers for W7 and also drivers for W8 in case I up?graded.
