    Recently (yesterday) I upgraded the 7500 rpm Seagate HDD that came in the laptop to a Samsung 840 128GB SSD. Everything is going smooth until I get it setup only to realize I cannot connect to WiFi. Then I began to realize I didn't have any of the same features I had on my old HDD. How can I restore/reinstall all necessary drivers?? Please help!

    Windows updates may install most drivers automatically for you as well (and up to date ones). Just make sure to include the available hardware updates in the update tool when you download and install.

    Other than that, just install whatever Windows Update doesn't.
