U310 driver update questions

[papadiva]

G'day!

U310 - I5 - 4Gb - 32Gb SSD - 500Gb HD - upgraded from W7 premium to W8 pro

I have three questions.

1.

I just encountered a new driver for the next item:

WIFI Driver (Intel, CyberTan, Liteon) for Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit) - IdeaPad U310, U410

and I found this update on the URL:

http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS031444

The thing is that from the moment I upgraded to W8 I'm not very satisfied about the WiFi performance and I wonder if this driver update will give the solution.

2.

I'm asking myself whether all U310's that were upgraded to W8 share the same drivers, or is there a difference of country.

In other words, can I download and install this new driver without the risk that it might not work properly?

And can I dowbnload and install ANY new driver for my U310 without any restriction?

3.

Is there any service notification for this specific U310 by LENOVO when there is a new driver update (e.g. for W8 64 bits)?

I mean, I have to search and search and search for new drivers without being sure if I took the right version ...

Thanks in advance.

Grtz,

Jim

Thanks, RMattoo,

However, I'm in doubt:

When I activate the driver update, I get a warning message that "executing this unkown app could cause damage to my computer".

Can I execute it nonetheless? I was expecting an update without this warning ...
