When Microsoft stated that my PC did not meet minimum requirements for Windows 11 on the insiders program , I was rather confused. My PC is well over the spec they suggest as minimum and went onto Userbenchmark test to see if that would bring up any clues, only to find that it stated 'Missing...

Thank you for your response. As per above the problem has been resolved. Thanks to both of you.

Real Beast. Firstly let me thank you for your brilliant responses, from which I have learned a great deal As I said I changed motherboard and also did a clean install. It was aftewr I was up and running, that I noted the wifi 'replacing' the wired ethernet, which I have had the problems with...

Thanks for that pointer. Have had a look and will attempt it in a little while. Just had a look in Device manager and find the Ethernet Controller has no driver, although BT & Wifi are in place and ok. My only problem with the Intel website is the amounnt of stuff available can become confusing...

The board is an ASUS B550-E and all drivers are in place

I have just installed a B550 board with WiFi & BT., However, I always had a wired connection to the computer and prefer it that way, but with the wired connection still place, I can no longer receive the wired signal, only wifi. The wifi I want for other reasons and I feel the wired connection...

Thanks for that reassurance. Good to know that I don't need to lose a good cpu.

I use Outlook email within Microsoft Office 365 on Windows 10 Pro. Whilst all was well for some months, suddenly email after email is from Microsoft itself, demanding to update credentials. I did all this, but to no avail, as they just keep coming on all 5 outlook.com addresses and some also...

Thanks!

About to change motherboard. Do I need to 'de-activate' Windows 10 Pro on my existing board before changing and then 're-activate' after new board is installed? I do currently have an activated digital licence on my MS account for existing hardware / motherboard.

I have just installed latest Gigabyte GC- WBAX200 wifi and BT PCIe card. Works great on |Bluetooth but I cannot get any response to Wifi. In Win 10 on settings > Network & Internet, the side menu used to read Status, WiFi then Ethernet. However Wifi is missing from that menu and I can get no...

Good point! I missed that, thanks

I have just recently upgraded my CPU and after doing so lost my wifi connectivity. I have a Gigabyte PCIe add-in card which has given me both Bluetooth and WiFi reliably in the past. I now have Bluetooth but no wifi. I have tried all the usual things such as uninstalling / installing latest...
