What Windows are you running? Should be fine either way.

What network adapter do you have? Did you download the correct drivers for Windows 8?

Use the Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=261871

 

If it's compatible, you can buy Windows 8.1 from that same program, install it (or create a DVD) and be on 8.1.
