Greetings - If you mean that you upgraded to Windows 8 from the native Windows 7 then the issue may be owing to unavailability of competible Wireless/Network driver. Unfortunately Lenovo does not appear to have Windows 8 network driver for B560 -

http://support.lenovo.com/en_ZA/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT072742

You can try installing the Windows 7 Network driver and observe - if that does not work, you may sadly have to downgrade in order to be able to use Wireless function again.

Normally wireless is activated thus - first physically turn on the Wireless adapted using a small switch at the bottom left corner of the laptop. Then use fn + f5 to activate the wireless radio.

Hope this helps


Hope that is helpful.
