I replaced the old hard drive of my Lenovo v570 laptop because it was broken. So I put in a new one everything is going great I installed the OS (Win7) and everything but it seems that I can't find the right network drive for me. It says that i need "intel centrino wireless n+ wimax6150" but i downloaded it already and it's still not working. I can't use my Wi-Fi, I'm just hooked up via the ethernet cable? Someone please help?
Where can I find the right network drive for my laptop?

If you want to be certain to get the right driver (it's "driver," not "drive"), visit the support area at the Lenovo web site for your specific model. Most manufacturers keep areas where you can download the correct drivers and other support software. They might even have instructions for installing it.

1) Basically download all drivers from the laptop support site.
2) Install the motherboard/chipset drivers first. Chipset drivers give access to other hardware, including sound and network adapters
3) Only then install the network drivers.
Use only the laptop vendor drivers at first. Thus you have to use Win7 drivers only. In some cases, the vendor drops support for certain adapters, in which case you can try the Vista drivers. They usually load, just giving a warning they are not "certified" for Win7. But if they work, who cares…

Use a software like "Driverscanner" to determine appropriate drivers for the device.
