WIFI problems on Inspiron 7520

Hi,

I have problems with wifi. When I install windows 8 or Ubuntu wifi works fine, but with windows 7 even adapter not working.

"The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."
 

Windows 7 can't find update automatically and wifi driver from dell support site closes installation without finishing it. 

I would stay with windows 8, but there is another problem. Radeon drivers not working same as wifi on windows 7.......... 

So any ideas ?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.
