I recently installed a 120GB Samsung SDD Evo 850 on my desktop PC. I was able to boot it up and load Windows 7 on it, however I cannot connect to WiFi. It says no network connections available and I've tried updating my drivers but when I downloaded them, the device manager did not detect the drivers on my desktop nor does it even show a network adapter. The network card I have is Asus PCE-N15.

I still have my old HDD connected in my PC and when I boot up from my HDD, the internet works fine and so does the network adapter and everything. It's only when I try to boot up straight from my new SSD that there's the network problem.
 


Thanks for answering, I tried cloning my HDD afterwards and now everything works perfectly.
