Oct 15, 2014. I tried upgrading my Alienware laptop to Windows 8.1 recently, and I had a very bad time. My machine is a m17x R3 with AMD switchable graphics.

According to Video Games Uncovered, Alienware 17 R4 is 'one of the best gaming laptops of 2017 and will be hard to beat'.

Please try again later. AND this one where i downloaded the drivers.which seemed to work, but still no internet NONE WORK!!!

I went to the device manager on my computer and it says that the Atheros AR8151 is installed, but still no internet connection Ive been at it for 2 days, none of the drivers work!!! Can somebody send/upload me a link to a driver or even how to get back to my original desktop like a recovery, anything to get back online!!!! NOTHING I TRY WORKSS!!!!!!!!

DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG PEOPLE? Mayeb i installed them wrong??

Please helpppp me!!! Is there something in the bios, some other driver i need to install first, something.

Follow the on-screen instructions carefully and select the recovery point closest to when you installed Windows.

When it's done recovering, install that driver from the USB/DVD.
