    Your post suggests that you do not "know" Linux.

    What do you mean by "laptop" driver? Linux is different from Microsoft Windows in that most "drivers" are already in the Kernel. They usually work out-of-the-box. It is not necessary to install separately.

    The only additional "drivers" are commonly video and wifi.

    Get a LiveCD and try it and see if it works. If it works, well..., it works and no addition is probably necessary.

    It would be unwise to install Backtrack. Backtrack was replaced by Kali Linux.

    If you are new to Linux, unless you have some special reason, it would not be wise to install Kali Linux.

    According to the Kali website: "Kali is a Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testers and security specialists, and given its unique nature, it is NOT a recommended distribution if you’re unfamiliar with Linux or are looking for a general-purpose Linux desktop distribution for development, web design, gaming, etc."
