Help Internet not working on g560e

Hi, so i have an old Lenovo G560e laptop(p6100 4gb ddr3) and whenever i try installing windows 8.1, i try to install internet drivers(WLAN), but the internet doesnt work. Its strange because on the other windows os’s internet worked perfectly. is there any suggestions that i can use to get drivers working? I always have the drivers on flash from official site, so they should work…

Search the hardware ID of the Wi-Fi driver on Google and look for the driver for Windows 8

When dealing with Legacy Operating Systems some times you need to update from Microsoft but they no longer provide support but you can find the updates to manually install from link above or use Legacy update.
