I've installed Windows 8 Pro on my laptop and 90% of it is in working order. But I'm missing 2 drivers, one of which is the Wifi drivers(Windows installed a default driver for it but every so often I lag in conditions where I haven't). I'm also missing the touchpad drivers, i think. I can't configure it for palm rejection.
The wifi card i have is the Intel 6250 + Wimax.

Have you looked for the drivers in the respective manufacturers website?

I upgraded to Windows-8 last night and all I can say is "WOW"! Best Windows OS by far! I've used all kinds of Operating Systems since Windows-98, including Sun and Linux, and Windows-8 is hands down the best!
Here is Dell's link for the Windows-8 drivers. Just make sure you choose "Windows-8" from the operating system drop down menu.

If you are having problems in downloading the drivers from manufacturer website then i would suggest to download the drivers with some driver scanning tool that will search for missing and outdated drivers online. You can download the drivers easily.

Hi Guys,
I am currently using Windows 8 RP on M14x R1 and planning to upgrade to full version of W8 since the release preview will expire in 2 weeks. M14x R1 is currently not supported by dell for windows 8, so I was wondering what should I do prior upgrading to Win 8 Pro. So far I've just updated the Wifi driver and flashed the BIOS and updated to A08. Do I need to do anything to have a successful upgrade and not have any issues with bootup,wifi, touchpad etc...
