Hi there,
I have recently been restoring my old Windows 7 laptop that crashed a few years ago and has been sitting around uselessly. By "restore", I mean my old hard drive had to be completely erased and the laptop itself was booted from a usb drive (.iso file) with new O.S on it.
**FYI the new O.S. is also a Windows 10 now
The problem is the new O.S. didn't come with all of it's drivers, including PCI simple communications driver which I'm guessing has to do with why I can't connect to the internet. The laptop sees the networks available and "connects" upon entering your password. But after you enter your password a yellow triangle appears letting you know you do NOT have internet access (even though it sees your network). I've also tried ethernet as well, but I still can't get internet.
I've downloaded a few drivers offline and extracted them to my laptop, but I'm still not having any luck. My question is, where do I begin in order to detect the missing drivers from my laptop, and how do I go about getting them on there?
Intel Pentium CPU B940 2.00 GHz
RAM: 4.00 GHz
System type: 65 bit O.S. x64-based processor
Windows 10 pro
