I recently upgraded my Dell laptop to Windows 8.1. Originally it came with Vista. It needed some drivers for the SD Card reader, and the original ones for Vista installed without any issue.

As did the the driver for the 3G card, which 8.1 didn't have in.

So it is odd that the W7 drivers aren't providing the correct functionality, as I didn't think W8.1 had changed the driver model that much.
