Official Release by Synaptic
Synaptics released new drivers version (17.0.19) which compatible with Windows 8/7/XP/ and Windows Vista. This driver package also support both 32-bit and 64-bit. Before we proceed with the installation ,Synaptic does ask users to check from the manufacturer website first, example if you have a HP notebook, you can check if HP provide Windows 8 drivers for your synaptic touchpad. Ssynaptic released generic drivers which may result in the loss of OEM-costumized Synaptic Pointing device functionality. So, it is strongly recommend to set a restore point which is a quick way to rollback to the previous driver you already have.
Windows 8.1/8/7/XP/Vista 64/32-bit : Version 17.0.19 Download (118MB)
Released By Notebook Manufacturer:
Acer : Download
Hewlett Packard (HP/Compaq) : Download
Lenovo : Download
Sony (Vaio) : Download
Notes!:
Synaptic Pointing device or Synaptic Touchpad available on most laptop. Even some laptop uses ALPS Touchpad but the numbers of notebook that uses ALPS is lower than synaptic. There are also several other synaptic Touchpad device such as Elantech. It is important to make sure you have the synaptic touchpad not ALPS or other. This is because some models do have variant, means if you own a Acer 4623 (example), you may see Acer provide 2 downloads for ALPS ans Synaptic touchpad. So we can say Acer 4623 Variant 1 uses Synaptic and the other variant uses ALPS.

Windows XP driver version not provided, only windows 7 driver version information available. For windows XP, you can check the driver version during installation or by looking at the extracted driver folder.
Windows XP 64-bit: Since no specific drivers (32-bit or 64-bit) mentioned on the official download page, I can say that all of the drivers compatible with 32-bit windows XP, but maybe not for 64-bit for certain drivers such as Video and Chipset.
On the other hand, Lenovo mentioned specific drivers for windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit. Not all downloads listed here, I only re-build the download list base on the important/essential drivers. If you have any problems do let me know.
Recommended OS : Windows 7 64-bit
Officially Support : Windows XP 32-bit, Windows XP 64-bit , Windows 7 32-bit, Windows 7 64-bit
Officially Upgrade available: Support Available for windows 8 upgrade. No windows 8.1 upgrade announce yet.
Windows 8 Note :
Most of the drivers automatically installed in windows 8, You only need to install certain drivers which I already add in the download List below. If there are no windows 8 drivers availble for certain driver such as audio, it means you don;t need to install it since it is already installed along windows 8 installation/upgrade.
Windows 8.1 Upgrade:
Windows 7 and Windows 8 Drivers normally works with windows 8.1. But since it is not yet tested there are no details about the bugs/glitch you may encountered such as using Biometric software to log in using your fingerprint. If you test it with windows 8 do share your feedback, experience and thought about it here.
