Oh, thank you Snick,
I'll go ask SIW2 about this.

 

[killingkevin]

ah, it looks like i can't send any pms as of now.
On a side note,
I have tried looking for an ethernet driver, checked the manufacturer's website and saw that the notebook that I have does not have the option for anything lower than windows 10.
If all else fails, then I might have to just suck it up and use the given OS.

If you noticed, I placed a @ before SIW2's username, I believe it places a notification or mention on SIW2's profile and should be responsive within a reasonable period of time. If not I'll PM for you if your PM function remains broken.

Neat

I am a bit impatient, after some intensive searching and testing, my only option would be to do a factory reset. Thank you for reaching out to me though.

Now this leads to a new problem, I need to go back to windows 10, but I had no restore image of it

What will happen if you go non-Windows 10? Warranty voided? Bottom drop out? What's the worst?

Have you considered an open source OS?

I'm going that way when Ms forces me off Windows 7.

I don't think I had a warranty to begin with, I like to tinker with my devices sometimes so it's no use getting one. So the worst that can happen is that the computer no longer boots



I have considered ReactOS, but they recommend not using it for everyday use. Linux on the other hand, haven't really looked into it too much
