Hey,,

Just finished setting up my new Gaming Rig. Installed Windows 10. The only issue now is, I'm not getting any internet connections. It keeps telling me to plug in a Ethernet to modem. BUT I do not use Ethernet. I use wireless. And there's no option for me to switch over to wireless my internet thingy is just showing a Ethernet cable logo and a red x on it. NOTE: I dont use Ethernet, I use wireless.

It sounds like you didn't install the driver for the wifi card.

Do you actually have a physical WiFi adapter?
Either built into the motherboard, or a USB or PCI-E adapter you bought and installed.

Unlike laptops and phones, new desktop PC builds & most motherboards do not have any WiFi capability, you have to add it yourself. That's most likely the cause of your problem.

Windows is prompting you to connect ethernet cable because that's currently the only means of connecting to a network with that system.
