All I have done is put windows 8 on a second partition but same drive as my windows 7
When it boots I can pick which one I want.
Computer management says all drivers are in (no exclaimation marks etc)
the windows 8 just isn't seeing the home hub ( or any other networks (and theres a few around here))
if I re-book hub windows 7 sees all and connects - windows 8 -nothing
thanks, keith

Did your computer come with a driver disk from the seller. If so, it may contain drivers for the wireless adapter. If not you may find out which adapter it is and download one from the internet when you are in Win 7 and put it where you can access it and install it in Win 8.
