Solved Can't get wifi driver to work on Asus K55A laptop

[willpropropro]

Alright I'll follow the steps, I'll let you know what is going on. Thanks a lot for the help Maxie !

 

[maxie]

No problem Please let us know how it goes

I can't do it because I'm an my old laptop and this laptop is running under window XP.
At this point I'm kind of lost, I'll try to find something about the issue I'm having right now, I'll try to find another .iso that will work because all the other seems to be corrupted.
If I can't get it to work, I might just get it back to asus so they can get it back to the factory settings...

You can Download the ISO for Windows 8 Option 3 should work ...


Your activation key is built into the BIOS

Is there a way to see my key so I can enter it where its needed ?

 

[maxie]

No as it is an OEM Key and would be no good ...

This is really messed up ... Looks like I can'y do nothing with this computer, I downloaded the Window 8.1 installer, and I am getting an error on that ...

I'm starting to be tired of that, isn't there an easy way I can just get window 7 or window 8 properly and that everytime I'll want to get my pc to his factory settings, I won't have to stuggle for hours to get it to work ?

Thanks a lot for the help

Option 1


This option allows you to download the latest Windows 8.1 ISO file without needing a product key.

If you have a retail Windows 8 or 8.1 PC, then you will still need to have a valid Windows 8 or 8.1 product key to be able to install and activate Windows 8.1.

If you have an OEM Windows 8 or 8.1 PC, then you will also be able to use this ISO to install and activate Windows 8.1 if you are installing the same edition of Windows the key is for. The Windows 8 or 8.1 product key embedded in the UEFI firmware of the OEM PC will be automatically detected and used during installation to activate Windows 8.1.

I think there must be some thing really wrong with the Computer you are working on as it does not seem to able to Download any thing proper ...

 

[willpropropro]

I was able to right before I down graded to Window 7 ... I don't know what happened here...

 

[maxie]

I have to agree with you very strange you can not seem to Install any of the Drivers ...

The Important one is the Chipset

 

[willpropropro]

Well I just got into dxdiag using CMD and it seems like I'm on window 7 32 bits ... So I downloaded the drivers in 32 bits, but it still doesn't work.

 

[maxie]

You need to Install the 64 Bit Version of Windows 7 ..

 

[willpropropro]

This is what I did ... I have no idea why it's 32 bits right now

 

[maxie]

Sorry but you need to start again it will never work with with the 32 Bit OS

 

[willpropropro]

Alright I will start again but its weird that its on 32 bits because I followed the steps you provided me ...

 

[maxie]

Windows 7 x64 you need

 

[willpropropro]

Weird that in this tutorial :
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html

I don't get the step 17.
Must be because I don't have the driver ...

 

[maxie]

Yeah that would be the reason no Network Detected

Whats the difference between 32 bits and 64 bits during the tutorial ? I didn't see anything that I needed to do because I was on a 64 bits. It just came automatically didn't it ?
