so i got this Denver NBW-11604N Netbook given to me by a cousin and i noticed it was running some odd specs such as 2 gigs of ram and windows 10 which do not correlate so i thought about downgrading it to something lighter since it was completely unusable. i assumed i would be able to find the drivers after a fresh windows 8.1 install but that wasnt the case. I searched the net far and wide without success so I tried emailing the manufacturer but I haven't got a reply and it has been well over 4 days since I emailed them so its safe to say I doubt ill get a reply.
Since nothing was working I opened up the laptop case as a last resort in hopes of identifying the network adapter visually but when I opened the case I was able to look at only the battery which covered about 1/3rd of the whole thing as well as a small motherboard covered entirely by a heatsink which was really odd to me and since I had clearly no idea what I was dealing with I didn't want to take the heatsink apart. I did check device manager and I got prompted with a bunch of unknown devices and after looking up their hardware ids online on my main pc I couldn't find the internet adapter at all.
For reference these are all the unidentified hardware IDS : https://prnt.sc/1rtm6ah
