Upgrading to Windows 10 from windows 7 and losing internet connection

[iwanttobeabookie]

A couple of days ago I upgraded my desktop to windows 10 after getting one of those MS prompts. However now I cannot access the internet and suspect the drivers from the Gigabyte GA-MA790X-ud4 motherboard does not support the internet drivers required. Searching the manufacturers website has not given me any joy either. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

When trying to search for a driver on that motherboard, it doesn't say Windows 10 on it. My suggestion would be to get a NIC card of some sort that is known to work with the OS (most).

Reinstall the Windows 7 nic drivers. I've had to do this on some older machines and they worked fine afterwards.

try the generic realtek LAN drivers here, there are some updated for windows 8.1 that might work

Drivers for Realtek 8111C/DL <-- The Windows 10 drivers are listed there.

Try re-plugged the cable from the card to the port on the motherboard and restart the PC again.

Did you run the Windows 10 connection troubleshooter?

Troubleshoot Internet connection problems

Also, check in the "Device Manager" to see if the network adapter is ok.
You may need to un-install it and then "Scan for new devices".

This is published by HP; however, it gives some good info on troubleshooting with the device manager.
