Q: No WiFi for Windows 8 Partition?
Once upon a time, I thought I was good with computers....
Anyway, I recently bought a Macbook Pro (15 inch, retina) and I installed Windows 8.1 onto it via Bootcamp Assistant. Windows installed, but the WiFi isn't working. I installed the Broadcom Windows 8 x64 driver, but there's still no option for WiFi. It's like the computer is only looking for an internet connection via an ethernet cable...
Is there anyway to fix this? WiFi works perfectly fine on the OSx partition. It seems like the computer is not recognizing the driver although I get a dialogue that says it installed successfully.
I might take it into an Apple store to try to fix the issue...
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Windows 8

Please download drivers appropriate for your Mac from System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support. If it says BCA, use BC Assistant to download drivers to a USB2 flash drive and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers .
If this does not work, try the following two steps
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
and then try to Repair BC drivers from the first two links.
