Hi,

When I upgraded my Mac to Yosemite OS X, I was unable to access my Windows side any longer. I repartitioned the HD and re-installed Windows 7. Both sides are working now, but I have no internet on the Windows side. I keep getting the notice: Install a driver for your network adapter. When I follow the link "How do I install network hardware and drivers", the advice is to make sure you're connected to the internet. Catch 22 much!

I read a similar thread that recommended downloading the drivers onto USB from a separate computer. I'm not sure what drivers to download. I'm running Windows on an iMac so would I find these drivers on the apple website?

Please help! I'm completely scuppered!

1) Boot Camp (Boot Camp Assistant) explains how you manage the download and installation of the drivers from what I understand.

or click HERE and go down to "Downloading Boot Camp drivers"

2) It's likely a WIRED connection would work fine.

3) The latest VIDEO drivers direct from Intel (if Intel) might be slightly better. You can run the Intel Download assistant to scan and recommend an update.

Once you get the Internet working, I would recommend downloading Driver Booster 2.1 and that would update and install all missing drivers, You can also look up the product key and all the product keys are working at least the ones i have tried.
