T61 6466-55G and Windows 8.1

[Bellzemos]

Hello!

A friend has the T61 6466-55G which runs like a slug cause he managed to get over 100 processes running, including malware. He has Vista on it and would like to get Windows 8.1 on (I've already upgraded the laptop to 3 GB of RAM and will install the 32-bit version).

I've looked for the drivers on the official Lenovo site but there doesn't seem to be any particular drivers for Windows 8.1

So, is any of you successfully running Windows 8.1 on a T61 6466-55G laptop? Did you had to get some drivers elsewhere or has Windows found it all by itself? Do you have all the functionality, is it stable?

Thank you!
