All drivers are obtained from the laptop makers support site and nowhere else
That model does not support win8.1

I have successfully downgraded from windows 10 to windows 8.1. It is all activated and everything. One problem that I have is that there is no wifi driver installed. This laptop used to have Intel Wireless AC 9260 Driver installed when it was on windows 10. Now when I check the manufacturer website, it says my laptop should have Intel wireless AC 8265. I'm not sure which driver is the correct one to download for my laptop. The laptop used to be on windows 8.1 before and all the drivers all worked and everything. My laptop is a HP probook x360 11 g3 ee notebook. When I go to device manager, there is nothing in the network adaptors section. Only an ethernet driver. No wireless driver. How can I get internet and install the correct driver on my laptop.

Use Ethernet (Cat5e, etc.) or download the driver onto a flash drive and move the flash drive to the problematic computer.

2022-05-07T19:58:14+00:00 Yeah but, this laptop used to use windows 8.1 before for about 2 years and it never had a problem before. It would always connect to the internet and do everything perfectly. Is there any way that i could install all the drivers off of intels website instead?
