Hi, I recently uninstalled my old AMD motherboard and old AMD CPU, and replaced it with an intel i5 6600k processor and a Gigabyte GA-150-PLUS WS motherboard. When I started my PC back up, I had to reinstall my graphics driver, which was fine, but then realized after restarting my PC that I had no network connection, and no audio. I had my network adapter plugged in as a usb, a Ethernet cord in my computer, and my headset plugged in, but my device manager didn't recognize any of it. I don't have a CD/DVD drive on my computer, so I could not install my motherboard drivers that was shipped as a CD. My dad's old PC had a CD drive, but when I plugged it in and tried to use it, the computer would not detect the disc in it and kept asking me to insert a disc into it, I looked this up and found out that I apparently needed drivers or something for it, but either way couldn't use it since I don't have an internet connection. I put the drive back in my dad's old PC, then started it up so I could transfer the files from the CD to a flashdrive so I could put the files on my computer and install the drivers manually. That did not work either as for some reason my computer did not detect the flashdrive in my computer even though it worked perfectly on my dad's PC, my disc management didn't even detect the flashdrive. I have now reached a dead end, and decided to ask the community what I should do. I have a variety of items in the device manager that have no drivers such as ethernet adapters, PCI stuff, etc. I can put a screenshot on here if someone requests it, Thanks.

It's not forcing you, you have to. Like I said they're different systems, use different drivers / chipsets

And the drivers for the AMD dont / or wont work on an Intel system

And you shouldnt put a hdd with an OS on it, into a completely different system. And expect things to work properly

It wont

Best way to fix it wipe the hdd and reinstall windows

I did not do a clean install, I want to keep all the files and os I have on my current harddrive. I'd rather not install a new OS unless I am forced to. I would like to get the drivers off the Gigabyte site, but I do not know how because I would have no way of installing them. Like I said in my main post... I do not have internet connection, and my PC does not detect any flashdrives I put into it. This is because of the lack of drivers I have for the new mobo and cpu.

So installing a new mobo and cpu forces me to do a fresh install of my operating system?

How would I go about backing up my files?

I completely forgot the fact that I can't plug a flashdrive into my computer, it doesn't recognize it, how else could I backup my files?
