Hi:

Here are the links to the W7 wifi and ethernet drivers you need for that model...

This package contains the driver installation package for the Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE wireless LAN Controller in the supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

This package provides the Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driverthat enables the Realtek Network Interface Card (NIC) Chip insupported notebook models that are running a supported operatingsystem.

You should be able to use the rest of the W7 drivers and software from the 15-e000 on your model, except the BIOS and firmware files.

I got lucky

I managed to call MS and they called me back at 10am on a Sunday

Tech took over the machine and 30 minutes later it was activated!!!!!!!
