Get the nic driver from the motherboard website .. but shocked it's not working already..
I gotta ask you something, are you making sure that Windows 10 is updated to the latest version? Let it do ALL of the updates before you attempt to install a graphics driver on a 10 series card. It WILL NOT install on the older versions of windows 10. After the updates, it will install fine.
I would only install Apps if you need them or are going to use them. Myself, I don't install any Apps from the motherboard company, the reason being I won't use them.
Indeed odd. You can go download the drivers from the mobo manufacturers website and it should connect up fine. Just install them from a USB flash drive.
Have Windows 10 installed from the USB flash drive but can not connect to the internet. The only thing on the desktop is the recycling bin, when I click start and open apps, it seems all or most of the windows apps are there, but since I cannot connect to the internet, i cant update. So I've decided to leave it at that for now. At least it boots up to windows now without the usb flash drive. Ive tried connecting it straight from the modem instead of router but still same thing. I have optimum online btw, the modem connects to the router and into 2 other computers. I'm thinking theres a setting that should be on but I'm not sure, so I didnt want to mess it up like i did with the old drive.
Did you try rebooting the PC with the Ethernet cable plunged in?
Still dont know why the windows product id is the same exact one as the one on my z170 6700k PC as that had an OEM windows key and i heard theyre tied to 1 motherboard only.
Idk if I should update to the latest bios or not. What do you guys think? There's 2 more new ones 0801 and 0906 for my mobo.
Either they haven't caught up with it yet, they've changed something, or you got lucky. Either way, ride that pony till it drops. LOL It wouldn't surprise me if M$ quietly made some changes to keep more copies of W10 out in the wild. Or it just takes longer (or there is a glitch) with OEM keys.
If your current BIOS works and you aren't trying to fix a specific problem a new BIOS will fix, I would leave it. There is always some risk in flashing a BIOS.
