<div>
So MS have removed the GUI for this task then.<br />
<br />
OK So I have exported the profile and put it onto a usb stick.<br />
<br />
How do I now use that to configure the wlan connection on another PC?
</div>


<div>
Try netsh wlan add to add a profile to a system. &nbsp; Use netsh wlan add /? for information.<br />
<br />
Yes, the GUI was removed. I looked at some third party stuff, but Windows 8 then 8.1 and soon 8.1 update 1 are all changing faster than vendors can keep up with.
</div>


<div>
Ok. &nbsp;I will give that a try. What I am now trying to understand is how is all this netsh stuff is quicker or easier than simply searching for a wireless ssid and entering the required password. All within the GUI. <br />
<br />
Am I missing something here. &nbsp;How is this method better, &nbsp;easier or quicker.
</div>


<div>
Give the command line a try, I have not seen a better way at this point. The third party tools did not help me.
</div>


<div>
Thanks for the help with this.

I am trying to get my head around how to use WCN in Windows 8. <br />
<br />
I notice there is a group policy to disable the ability to configure window 8 wireless connection via USB, but how do I actually copy wireless network information to a USB stick in the first place.<br />
<br />
I have seen a few forum posts based around Windows 7 which suggest clicking on Manage wireless networks in the network and sharing centre but this does not exist in Windows 8.<br />
<br />
Can someone help me please?

Windows Connect Now (WCN) in Windows 8

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
