I installed windows 7 on my ssd and now when I start up my pc there's no internet connection. All my internet drivers got deleted. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

P.S I installed windows 7 on the ssd while my HDD was connected if that makes a difference. My hdd had windows 7 on it already. I did this because I thought you needed an Os installed on the ssd to use it for a boot drive and games.

Solution
Windows does not just come with every driver for every piece of hardware.
You need to install the drivers for your computer.



If this is a custom built your motherboard should have came with a CD that has the drivers. Install the lan driver, then go to the motherboard vendors website and download all the newest drivers.

If computer is an OEM (dell, hp, etc) then on another PC you will need to go the OEMs website and downlaod all the drivers for your computer.

If you have a dedicated video card you will need to go to the maker of the card's website and download those as well

"said it wont let me" what do you mean by this?

The user can't do that, because he/she has no internet. Follow boosted1g's advice for best solution. If you still have issues, you might need to remove the old driver first from device manager.
