Question No connection after win10 installation

[Whatisthat50]

I have recently built a computer with a MOBO with no built in wifi . Did a installation of Win10 by downloading it off the Microsoft website and did the normal run through of set up . ( I didnt purchase Win10 yet ) I do have a router with a ethernet cable. It appears my ethernet cable isn't being shown / used for internet . I tried searching countless of times but cant find a exact fix for it . Do I need to purchase Windows 10 ? Do I need a wifi adapter?

Have you searched the motherboard maker's web site for the NIC driver?

Normally, Windows would install an acceptable driver. In your case, maybe not?

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information (edition, version).

Are you able to access BIOS?

Not sure about how you installed Windows.

The following link provides detailed information about how to do a clean install.

My thought is that there is just some error of omission or commission with respect to the network adapter drivers and/or the configuration thereof.
