    Hi!

    My name is Renee and it's been a while...

    I have a W520 that I eventually want to put on 8.1.1. but first things first. My W520 was just in the shop and Lenovo Cleaned the disk and installed their copy of Win7. Meanwhile I've been a 8.1 but has a new system board put in.
    Now none of my backups are any good. But I have a problem.....I cant get on the net to get update. The W520 is connected physically....I just dont know what drivers to move to the W520 so I can get on the net and do updates.
    Specifically the physical connection is on the rear and has blinking led. The other end of the connection go to the verizon "modem" on my desk. What else do you need, so I can help you help me?
