Please let me know if drivers designed for windows 7 are 100% compatible with windows 8.
I have laptop Samsung NP3530EC-AOCDX with windows 7, and I am tempted to upgrade it to windows 8.
The only drivers available on Samsung product page are dedicated for windows 7.

Please let me know if I can expect stable work of my computer under windows 8?

There is a User's manual for Windows 8 and there is the download utility that claims to find Windows 8 drivers.
But many of your drivers will be in Windows 8 or downloaded during the install. I would not use a driver listed for Windows 7 unless some device was not working correctly. It appears Samsung has chosen not to supply Windows 8 drivers, possibly because it does not need to.
Before you change your OS, if there is any way to make an image, or even use a new Hard Drive, I would do so. Or at least have some way to recover back to Windows 7 if it becomes necessary.
