If you want to stick to Windows 8 and assuming you have used an upgrade disc to install Windows 8. I advise following this workaround to get a Windows 8.1 .iso and use it to clean install:
The Windows Reinstallation Guide will instruct you in clean installing Windows 8.1.
Now regarding the drivers, Dell do have Windows 8 drivers for the wireless cards. If you have entered your service tag in however it might not have showed there are some minor bugs with drivers and downloads when a service tag is input.
As I don't know your variant of wireless card please provide the hardware IDs from the wireless card in the device manager. You can then confer with the hardware IDs here:
It should be a Dell Wireless 1501/1530 I have a more up to date driver then each listed on the drivers and downloads page for this model. The 1530 driver is later and may also update the Dell wireless 1501 card (as the driver on the Latitudes page applies to both), I'll test it later. Otherwise it will be an Intel Wireless Card and in such cases you can get the latest driver from Intel.
For the Bluetooth you might have a Broadcom Bluetooth Card which can get the latest driver via the Broadcom Bluetooth Update, I have listed the hardware IDs of the Bluetooth Cards alongside the Bluetooth Cards.
Yes. But my action center sais a problem with ur security device and sensor device do to no compatable driver for this version of windows. Other than that the wifi doesnt want to work at all?
What drivers have you installed in Windows 8.1 and have you checked the Device Manager (Step 12 of Windows Reinstallation Guide/A Clean install of Windows 8.1):

If you want Windows 7 then you might need to load the Intel Rapid Storage Technology SATA driver during the Windows 7 setup.
For 64 bit use: http://ftp.dell.com/FOLDER94062M/3/INTEL_RAPID-STORAGE-TECHNOLO_A07_R291721.exe
For 32 bit use: http://ftp.dell.com/FOLDER94055M/3/INTEL_RAPID-STORAGE-TECHNOLO_A07_R291720.exe
To prepare and load a SATA driver see Windows Reinstallation Guide/A Clean Install of Windows 7 Step 6 and 8:

Well you have a Dell Wireless 1530 and the driver should be installed okay.
Do you have Dell Quickset? Have you tried turning the wireless switch on and off.

You changed to a Dell Wireless 1503 card and installed a Windows 7 driver?
R302627 is more up to date than R287498.

Okay can you tell me install what you have done?
You installed Windows 7. Was Service Pack 1 included on the installation media? If not did you install it?
What drivers did you install and what order did you install them?
