Solved How do i get back windows 7 when i updated to windows 8

I don't spot the Wireless Adapter in that list. Are there more devices that don't have drivers listed? Is it built in or a USB Wireless adapter?

Give me your exact Sony model and I will find and upload your Wireless driver for you now. I want to get to bed and not stay up all night again.
 
haha lol so umm what do i do now i cannot find my drivers on the sony support website

Your Atheros® AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter is here, along with installation instructions: Sony eSupport - VPCF234FD - Software & Drivers

Your other drivers are here: Sony eSupport - VPCF234FD - Support

Once you install the wireless driver, connect to your network and go online to Windows Updates to get the latest drivers which will appear under optional Windows Updates. Go ahead and install all of your updates with the required restarts as it may deliver several rounds which will include drivers.

Then check the Device Manager to see if any drivers are still missing, find them at the second link above. If you need any help, ask back.

If you wouldnt mind i just want to make sure your hardware is functioning correctly,
Click :orb: type in "Device manager"
Look at my picture to make sure you click on the correct one.

Do you spot any yellow ? or :warn: inside the device manager window
