Ive just gone through and installed all of the updates manually. The counter guy neglected to tell me that I needed to buy the internal wireless module so Im using a USB TPLink that I had here at the house. After fiddling with the drivers I was able to get it to find and connect but now Im stuck with an "unidentified network" with no fixes in sight.
Net forums have been unhelpful as it isnt letting me change the network type (home/work/public).
