Hang in there....

Prior to making the change in O/S, did you find out if your hardware is even compatilbe with windows 8?

If it is not, then you just successfully made a good machine into a boat anchor!

YOU must take an inventory of hardware, through your device manager. Get all of the parts from the listing.

Look for something under network adaptors like:
Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz)

You could have went here:

for a system scan to see if it is compatible.
