Internet connection failure

[Sarrattman]

I have 2 hard disks in one computer. One has Win7 & the other Win 10 (beta). I cannot connect the Win 10 disk to the internet. Message says "Missing hardware" Win 7 connects normally. Any thoughts?

Well since W10 is still in Beta, maybe they are still working on the driver for your particular NIC,

with any clean os you need the drivers to your pc or mb and other hardware.
if it a pre made dell or hp go to there site and download the drivers to a usb stick.
if the mb and intel mb go to intel web site and use the intel driver checker. make sure the intel cgipset drivers are fine.
the z77 and older use the 9x of the intel chipset driver and the newer 8x and 9x use the newer version 10.
if it an amd mb download the newest amd omega chipset drivers.
a little trick on knowing the missing hardware is go under device manger and look for the yellow !! when you find a missing driver look under device info..look for hardware id it give you a string like this.
(PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1503&SUBSYS_849C1043&REV_04)
this is a hardware device id info that register online..google that info will tell you the make and model of most of your hardware that missing drivers.
