Hi fedddda and welcome.

Sony do not support a clean install of Windows 8.1.  The supplied drivers and software only support an UPGRADE as many of the drivers are updates to drivers already installed in Windows 8.  The existing drivers need to be already installed.

Have you installed ALL the Windows 8.1 drivers in the link you provide?

It may be possible to install the Windows 8 software before the 8.1 updates but the only sure way to get everything working is to recover to Windows 8 using your recovery discs and upgrade to Windows 8.1 following Sony's instructions in the attached PDF.
