Drivers & Software

Microsoft has released Windows 8.1. In the Select an Operating System box, select Windows 8.1. Download and install all drivers, applications and utilities.

Hi JamieYates14, welcome to Questions & Answers. The following is taken from the Sony is currently performing a validation of selected Windows 7 VAIO models to determine whether all BIOS, drivers, utilities and other VAIO applications from Sony can be fully supported for upgrade to the Windows 8 Operating System. Depending on the outcome of the testing and validation phase for each model, Sony will issue a list of supported models as well as any known restrictions, limitations and necessary software updates. Thanks for the response. I appreciate I have probably upgraded too early for my own good, although mostly enjoy the W8 experience so will hold off downgrading unless I have to.

In the meantime, can you confirm what the actual hardware information is for the WWAN device in the VGN-Z3? I would be interested to know what it should display in 'Device Manager' - presumably as a modem? It is not picked up automatically by W8 but i am able to manually add a Gobi 3g modem, however even once added and apparently 'working correctly', i am unable to query the modem using dianostics and of Gobi connect is still showing 'no device found'.
