I recently dualbooted my Mac to be able to run windows but there is only one problem... it can't find a network. It says that there are none connected and won't let me search for any. Any tips?

EDIT: Found out I didn't install the Windows Support Software. Everything is fixed now. Thanks guys!

Generally when you do that, it acts as a completely new operating system.
This means you'll need to acquire the macs drivers for windows compatibility, so at the moment you have no network drivers, no audio drivers, no graphical drivers, nothing. Been in the same boat before, but its fixable.
I believe the BootCamp App has the functionality to put the drivers onto a USB for your convenience, also.

Good luck!

you made an drivers backup bevor you did bootcamp?
bootcamp gives you the chance to backup your drivers (mouse, Keyboard, network and others)
to install it directly on windows

Yes, I used Bootcamp to do this by the way. To my knowledge, the sound and mouse work, just no network.

I'll probably reinstall after I get back today. Will update with any luck I have.

I'd recommend plugging in an Ethernet and if that doesn't pick anything up come back.

//Drivers could also be the issue since dualbooting acts as a completely different system.

I'm on MacBook Pro Retina Display (2013) so there is no ethernet plug.
