I have had a problem with my new PC, when I start Windows 10, it says that my ethernet connection is limited and that it has no connection, even though it is properly connected, I was wondering if anyone could help me fix my computer?

at this point I have to assume to op doesn't have a DVD drive in PC, and since most hardware makers aren't giving away USB sticks yet, its a catch 22.

At op, can't you ask a friend to help? don't you know anyone with a PC and internet? All you need to do is go to web site for motherboard and download the latest LAN driver, put it on a USB and install it on your PC. Then it will hopefully fix your problem.

Did you install the drivers on your motherboard's included disk? Some way or another, you need an ethernet driver.

No, I didn't, how do I install the correct drivers to my hard drive? I don't have Internet access on my PC

Install all the drivers that are on the disk. And then when you're on the internet, update them.

At this point, I think you need to read the instruction manual that came with your motherboard.
