Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter

Hi Erick -

Did you install all of the drivers from the Motherboard's Support Downloads web page for the exact model you replaced it with? If the ethernet device is on the motherboard per usual, then that's where it comes from, along with the chipset, latest BIOS, sound and any other drivers posted.

If the motherboard didn't come with an ethernet adapter then you'll either need to install one or provide the driver for the WLAN to use it to connect. It's strange it would have a Wifi adapter but no ethernet, usually it's the other way around.

The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain Windows 10 is how to keep the latest manufacturer's drivers current. Window Update and Device Manager drivers are rarely enough.

Feel free to ask back any questions. If you'll post back detailed results then I may know what to suggest next, if necessary.

Oops yea now that I think about it I didn’t flash the drivers for the motherboard. I’ll do that in the morning and let you know if it worked. Will anything be different with flashing the drivers if I have already booted it multiple times or no difference?

Not really Erick, it's never too late to get the latest drivers installed unless Windows won't start.

Here are some guides to help out:
