Hey guys i just got a Dell Inspiron M731-5735 with windows 8 installed. I'm not too fond of windows 8 so I downgraded to windows 7 and everything went well. Until i had to find drivers. I can't connect to the internet with that laptop because the only drivers I found only support windows 8. Anyone know what i should do???

If this is your laptop: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/product/inspiron-m731r
It says you have a Realtek RTL8105E Ethernet Controller Driver. You can try the Win8 driver download available on the page. If that doesn't work, go to the realtek site and download it: http://www.realtek.com.tw/DOWNLOADS/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=7&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
That will get you the LAN driver. If you need the wireless driver, use the same approach to find it.

Oh, OK. When you said network driver, that usually refers to Ethernet. But I see that Dell lumps Ethernet and wireless all together in the same cluster.
If you have the 1704 device, try this driver: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=6J4VN
If you have the 1705 device, try this driver: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=GMW8T
