Its better to install Windows 8.1 with a UEFI BIOS and SecureBoot enabled, this usually requires a Bootable USB, see here and here:

And here:

Regarding the driver issue likely the support page is giving you the wrong driver variant for the wireless card. Please provide the hardware IDs of network controllers, display adapters and unknown devices in the device manager:

I have the win 8.1 installed with EFI and secure boot enabled.
About the driver issue, can you tell me how to get the hardware ID?

Flip the switch on the left of your laptop next to your keyboard.
