I need to reinstall the win8 USB 3.0 drivers for my Vaio fit 14e. I can't find a download link online?

My laptop model number is SVF1421Z2EB.

Thanks.

Hi amriths and welcome,

Assuming that your operating system is Windows 8 the USB 3 controller driver is part of the OS and not supplied by Sony. If Windows 7 you will find it under the original drives on the support site.

To force a reinstallation of a native Windows driver delete the USB Controller in Device Manager and reboot - the controller will be reinstalled.

Hi amriths and welcome to the Sony Users Community.

If you are using Windows 8, there is no Intel driver because Windows 8 has a native USB 3.0 driver support included.

Sony do provide an Intel driver for downgrading to Windows 7.
