Hello community
I just bought a new computer without any OS, because i already had windows 7.
The problem is that the ethernet controller doesn't work, neither does the network controller, PCI simple communications controller or universal serial bus (USB) controller
I have tried to find solutions around the internet, but with no luck, so i hope you can help me.
My Motherboard should be: Notebook W35xSS_370SS
My computer can be found here: http://www.mm-vision.dk/vision-s-series-s4568-15-6-baerbar

I have installed Windows 7 home premium, but can the reason be that it doesn't support the different internet drivers?

I'm not sure about this, but it can be that the driver that have to be installed is Realtek FE/GbE Family Controller, but it isn't supported by anything other than windows 8. Can i do something to keep windows 7

Everything worked with the installation of windows, except the four drivers.
A CD came along the computer with all the drivers for the computer, but the disc won't open as long as i don't have windows 8.1 installed. But it was possible to open the disc manually and find the drivers which was supported by windows 8.1.

I called the company's support they told that the drivers was only supported by windows 8.1. I ask for the network card which should be something like: Intel 7260-AC, and i found a discussion on intel:
https://communities.intel.com/thread/42298?start=60&tstart=0
which leads to a download side:

here i was able to find a driver called: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Driver for Windows 7 & Windows 8 32/64 BIT
after installing it, the wireless internet began to work.

Anyways, with the lack of support for the drivers from windows 7, multiple of the features on the computer won't work properly.
