What do you mean by this? When you leave the BIOS and enter Windows?


That motherboard doesn't have integrated Wifi, so you have to have an ethernet cable plugged in. If you do, it's possible the ethernet port is disabled, either in device manager in Windows or in the BIOS (then it won't show in device manager).

What I meant when I said "I leave Bios then restart the computer and enter windows 7" was I am using a hard drive from my other computer which is hardly been used, just 223 GB out of 1000 GB, which already has windows 7 on it which appears to be working ok.

I have an ethernet cable already plugged in. So If It's not in the device manager how do I activate the ethernet port in the BIOS?

Using a drive with an Operating System on it, from another build is never a good idea.
Too many variables like Chipset and drivers come in to play which can cause issues such as you are finding.
You should do a clean install of the Operating System and download all necessary drivers (Chipset, Audio, Ethernet etc) from the Motherboard manufacturers website for your particular model, on to a USB stick using another computer connected to the internet.

H'i again Caring1
I've downloaded Chipset, Audio, Lan, and utility on and off onto an external hard drive, as I haven't got a spare USB stick. Hope that's ok. I don't know what to do next, and is there any way I can do what you said, without losing my files and photos, etc.

You'd have to back up your files, you say you have an external drive so if that has enough capacity that should do. Transfer all your stuff onto that, then install Windows from scratch, and transfer your stuff back.
For the drivers, they're most likely .exe files packed in a .zip or .rar, right? So you'd have to pack them out (Windows 10 has a built in tool to open .zip files, but I recommend using 7Zip) and then run the .exe file to install them.

H'i kajay,
Let me just say thanks for taking an interest, it's most appreciated. Believe me, I need all the help I can get.
Right my first problem is this new build won't let me transfer my files, photos, etc. I can't get it to recognize my external hard drive, or USB sticks, or anything I put into any of the USB drives. Just after I boot up, It says this windows 7 is not genuine, and then goes into safe mode, and tells me to purchase a product key.
Well, I have got a new Windows 7 complete with a product key ready to install when I'm ready, but like you said I need to transfer my files first. I even tried putting the hard drive back into the computer it came from. I'm stuck, I don't know what else to do. I can't do it through easy window transfer because I can't get on the internet until I download the drivers. I've got myself into a right mess
