    you still have Intel WiDi, there is also things like drivers inside RST if you didn't install that.

    Edit: Also if you did a fresh install on a new drive you can use the old drive to get drivers from. Just get a sata to usb case and then do a manual search for the divers in the windows folder and select check subfolders.
