Hi jordanius and welcome.
It is my understanding that the drivers provided by Sony are to be used following a MIGRATION to Windows 8. The new installation relies on software/drivers from within the Windows 7 installation so you MUST choose "Keep Windows settings, personal files, and apps" during setup. A clean install is NOT supported.
That said, have you tried installing the original Windows 7 preinstalled version of 'Sony Notebook Utilities'?
Drivers are still being added, so I would keep a close eye on the Support page for your model.
