After dual booting Windows 11 and Windows 8.1, the WiFi doesn't work on Windows 8.1.

I recently dual booted Windows 11 and Windows 8.1 on an OMEN 30L Desktop GT13-1174, and the WiFi on the Windows 8.1 partition is not functional (networks don't appear in the network menu), but the WiFi on Windows 11 is. I checked Device Manager and saw that there was no WiFi driver, only wired network drivers. Does anyone have a wireless network driver that will work on my PC and OS?

Hello @jarifraj 

Check windows 11 <device manager> and tell me the name of your wireless adapter.

Open <network adapters> and send me a screenshot please.

I tethered a phone to my computer so I could download the file. After downloading it and running the setup.exe file, I was prompted to restart the computer and so I did. My WiFi still wasn't showing up in the Network menu, so I checked Device Manager, and found that the driver wasn't there. What do I do?

Please check the windows <device manager> if you find a faulty device with a yellow exclamation mark.
Send a screenshot.

I found this in the "Other devices" section. Not too sure if it has anything to do with the network issue though.

Ok,

Send me a list of hardware ids for each device with the yellow exclamation mark:
