Reinstalled windows7, nothing works.
I had originally installed the wrong w7 version (ultimate), when I only had the professional key. Everything worked perfectly before I reinstalled.
Now after I reinstalled (and activated, legit copy). I seem to be missing all drivers and I am unable to connect to the internet.
Before I reinstalled I did the windows backup of my /C: (SSD) to my /E: (1tb HD), just to be sure that I wouldnt lose anything I have.
Things that Ive notice that are wrong. In the network profiles im set as ''Public'', cant change this for some reason (help me find how?)
When I try to "Network and sharing center" --> "set up a new connection or network" --> "connect to the internet" "windows did not detect any networking hardware".
Also since everything from my resolution to internet options has changed, I assume Ive lost all my drivers + I think at some point when troubleshooting it gave me a message about missing some drivers(cant find this again).
I have a laptop(linux) which can access the internet from the same connection using wireless and I could get an USB stick or something and dl drivers or anything I need and then transfer to my PC. I just need help in knowing what I need to do.
I do not have the cds which came with the hardware when my pc was built 6months ago. I could get hold of them in 2days but I would like/need to solve this quicker than that.
Ask me for more details and I will try give them, please help! Im sorry if this is in a wrong sub-forum. I have tried googling everything but could not find any specific answers.
