How can I connect my Windows 8 system to a wireless network?

You can have a new system of Windows 8 and need to connect it to a wireless network, but can't seem to find how to do this.

This can be done pretty simply in Windows 8, but it's a little different.

Windows 8 has called the splash screen.  This is the command center for Windows 8.

If you put the cursur mouse on the right side of the screen and click to drag, but a panel that comes out.  It is the bar of charms.

At the bottom of this is a settings option.  Click on this and the symbol of familir Windows 7 wireless network should be present.  This is how you can change what this network is connected to.

This is also where you can easily enable or disable airplane mode if you wish. It will be above the list of wireless networks that appears when you click the symble of wireless network in the charm of parameters.

There is another way to connect to a network in Windows 8.

If you prefer the more familiar method of Windows 7, you can open the desktop app from the start screen to reveal the familiar system tray in Windows 7.  Simply click on the network icon to display the list of available wireless networks.

I hope this information is useful.

The article I'm referring below has a tutorial on how to connect printers (Local and network), please go through the information in there and see if it helps you as well.

  • How can I connect to the internet? Problems involving the network and sharing Center does not.

    Hello.
    I live in a House and bought a range extender so that I can get a connection in my basement as well.  I have installation range Extenders without problem.  When you install the range extender, I changed my name to my network router.  I changed the name of the network by typing 192.168.1.1 in my browser.
    The MacBook connects without a problem.  In the basement, the connection of Windows 7 works very well.  I have just connected Vaio Windows 7 my mother to the network, but it prompted that I enter the user credentials.  I read a post above and got that problem solved by opening the network and sharing Center and adding a new connection.  Now that the connection is configured correctly.
    The problem is with the laptop HP Windows Vista family basis.  Since I install the range extender, I can't connect to the network.  He had no problems before you connect the router or other networks to visit other places.  The new network name appears, but when I click it, it says I have to enter the user credentials.  I tried to manually, but the name is taken so I can't make a new and invites me to connect to the network that is established or to connect to a different network.

    Hello

    If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting.

    To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

    If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

    Once logged in as administrator, you should be able to change the passwords for any account.

    See also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321305

    In addition, check the status of 'Caps Lock' and if you are using a laptop computer when there is a numeric keypad superimposed on the normal alphabetic keys, check if the numerical values are active (normally a depression Fn and F key).

  • How can I update my Windows XP system on a larger hard drive and keep all my data and programs?

    New hard drive.

    I'm going to install a new hard drive of 250 GB. The old man has only 20 GB. I have Windows XP SP3 and my PC is a Dell Dimension 8100. How can I reset my new HD with all the programs, and what is the correct order?

    Use Clonezilla to copy the old drive to the new drive. Once complete, go into the bios and set to boot from the new drive and then save by pressing F10.

    Once you get to Windows, you can configure one or more partitions on the empty space of the new drive with disk management. In addition, you can now format your old drive if you wish.

  • How can I connect on Windows XP Professional as an administrator?

    Something changed my admin password. I am the only owner and user on this laptop...

    I get the error of admin rights whenever I make a change to my system programs.

    It has probably nothing to do with your password.

    The quick check to see if you have administrator privileges is to right-click on 'start '.  If one of the options that appear in the pop-up window is "open all users", then probably have administrator privileges.

    To check, the long run is to open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
    net localgroup administrators
    This will provide a list of all users with administrator privileges.

    Even an administrator can be deprived of rights to a file or a directory that can cause the error you receive.  The group administrator has the right to change the rights, however.  It is likely that some malware has gotten into your system and modified access rights of authorization in a directory of keys for the Administrators group.  Try to run a program like Malwarebytes freeware to search for possible infections.
