    Hello!

    I have an alienware m14x R1. I had windows 7 installed, but decided to switch to windows 8. It recommended me to uninstall the Intel network driver because it wouldn't be supported in windows 8 before I installed it. So I did it because it wouldn't work anyways.

    Now I don't have internet and I don't find supported Windows 8 drivers for m14x:

    Drivers for Alienware M14x

    Does anyone know where can I get the driver for windows 8?

    The M14x R1 is not a supported Windows 8 model, you need to look for the network driver in the manufacturer's website.

    If you don't know the model of your network card you can check your system's configuration using the Service tag.
