Hello Developers and Mods,

I've downgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 but I can't find any wifi networks even though they are available. After troubleshooting, I have realised that I've lost my wifi driver and usb driver. Please give me some options if possible. I am also sorry for the inconvenience.

    It is possible there is no driver that will work. However, it is more than likely there is one,. You just need to be able to find it.

    First try to install the Win8 driver

    Device manager, expand the network driver item, right click on your device, Choose the Details tab

    Choose Hardware ID under the Porperty drop down

    That first line of characters is the hardward ID. Copy it to the clipboard

    Do a Google search for that ID

    Now you have to be partly detective and partly a cautious person. Try to find a device that fits yours.

    Remember to set a restore point BEFORE you do any installs.

    Obviously, you will need to use another device that is connectable.

    I would look at Network controller, Ethernet controller and USB device. That Unknown could be it too.
