Serial numbers are specific to your computer. You have the only computer in the world with that serial number. It's useless for what you need :)

Try instead searching for your computer's model information. Since there are thousands of identical computers of the same model, Lenovo can't restrict access to the info you need based on your warranty status.

When you find your WiFi hardware info, download the driver(s) for Windows 8 (from the OEM's website if possible). Windows 7 drivers usually don't work on Windows 8

Good Luck :)
