    After a clean install YOU DON'T have a windows.old folder!
    I do have a windows old folder, but i merged it with the new windows folder and replaced all the things that needed to be replaced
    Did you move all files from windows.old to windows? Not a smart thing to do... at least not in this case now. Are some (or all) applications you had before still working (or visible on desktop)?
    Its just the windows wallpaper with only the trashcan, its just the clean win 7 but in 'Computer' theres the old files, nothing different

    Windows.old is ALWAYS created when selecting a custom install (only other selection being in-place upgrade) on top of existing Windows without formatting the system disk.

    It is NEVER created when in-place upgrading.

    thanx for explaining Kari. But if installed from DVD (boot from DVD)... windows.old is never created. Correct?

    It sounds like you need to download your network driver(s) from the Laptop manufacturer website.
    Download them on a PC that can connect to the internet, save them to a flash drive, then install them on your laptop.
    When you get the Network driver(s) updated, Windows should then be able to get all the other drivers for your laptop.

    Also, where did you download the Win 7 ISO from that you used for this install?

    Incorrect.

    Just to give something else than just my word I booted a Windows 7 Professional virtual machine with Windows 7 Professional DVD and selected custom install and when asked, the same partition where the existing Windows installation is located:
