windows 8.1 vm, how do I give it internet access?

[xxredxpandaxx]

I set up a Windows 8.1 vm with the vm gui and It doesn't have internet access, how do I set this up?

Did you install the virtio network drivers during windows 8.1 install ? here's the wiki guide :

ahh no I didn't know which ones I needed to install, I was looking for a list somewhere, I guess I just didn't see that link. So do I have to reinstall windows then? And load the drivers at that screen?

there might be a way to add them after install, but my guess would be time and effort figuring out how might prove more time and effort than just starting freshmy personal opinion anyways, but yeah  the screeen where you select browse to find  the driver for the virtual disk to show up you just repeat the process for each driver.
