  1. No Wi-Fi adaptors after installing windows 8,1 pro?


    I have successfully downgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 8.1. One problem that I have is that there is no Wi-Fi driver installed. I used to have Wi-Fi on Windows 10. I have downloaded and installed a driver to fix this but to no avail. I'm not sure which driver is the correct one to download for my laptop. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C55D B5294, AMD A8. When I go to the device manager, there is nothing in the network adaptors section. Only an ethernet driver. No wireless driver. How can I get internet and install the correct driver on my laptop?

    :)

  2. Norton Win User

    USB Wi-Fi Adapter Disabling

    Is it on Windows 8's compatibility list (check MS website- forgot link)?

    I had an issue with one Wi-fi adapter and it wasn't listed as compatible- All was well when I swapped it out with one on the compatibility list
