No connections are avalible

[HoodedStriker]

So today I broke my ssd drive where I had my windows installed. At least I think I did. I also made a thread about it but there is apparently literally no way to see it anymore. It just disappeared into the tomshardware void.

So anyway I fresh installed windows 8.1 on my hard drive cause that's what I had on an usb at the moment. Booted up and no connection. Windows troubleshooter finds I dont have network drivers installed. I download intel network drivers on my phone and transfer to pc only to get "cannot install drivers. No intel (R) adapters are present in this computer".

So my question is: what the hell do I have to download to make my internet work so that I could upgrade my windows and use my pc again? I have been messing around trying to get my pc to work half the day and it all feels like an rpg quest - one problem just leads to another and its just so frustrating I want to smash my head again a brick wall.

There have been some forum issues for the last couple days, BUT here is a link to your other thread -- http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3764869/ssd-drive-broken.html

If you listed your motherboard, that would help us also.

You go to your computer' manufacturer web site, and download appropriate driver. Also, there're separate drivers for WiFi and Ethernet (wired connection).

Did your computer had Windows 8 before it broke? If it had Windows 10, there's a chance there are no Windows 8 drivers.

Yeah I'd like to apologize for the stupid post. I got so caught up in my grief and frustration that I forgot to install the mfcking motherboard drivers. Big thanks for your answers though!

Two things dying at the same time, no SSD, no NIC, suggests something bad happened. Confession time?
