Hi:

 

There are no windows 8 drivers for the model Broadcom wireless network adapter your notebook has.

 

I suggest you connect via ethernet cable, do the required updates to W8, so you can ge the free upgrade to W8.1 from the Windows Store and then use the W8.1 drivers from your PC's support page.
