Wouldn't clicking on that get you 8.0.1.344 instead of 10.0.1.1?

Atheros Ethernet Controller

If I can't boot my system because of the error that reads: "System_Thread_Exception_Not_Handled" (athwbx.sys) what the heck am I supposed to do? Why didn't the upgrade checks figure out that driver updates would be required BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UPGRADE from Windows 7 Home Professional?
I tried reverting to the previous build (presumably Windows 7) but it just sits there saying that it's restarting.

At the moment there is no Windows 10 specific driver, but the windows 8.1 driver should work fine. Go here:
Drivers for Atheros AR3012 and Windows 8
If your running 64-bit Win10 grab the 64-bit Win8.1 INF file download, and if your running 32-bit Win10 grab the 32-bit Win8.1 INF file download (the one at the top of the page is the most recent). It will download as a zip file, which you must unzip (I use 7zip myself). These links don't download an installer however, you must install them through device manager. Right click the windows icon in the bottom left and select device manager. Find your ar3012 under network adapters, right click it, and select properties. Click on the driver tab, then click on the update driver button. In the dialogue box that opens, choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then direct it to the folder that you just unzipped (probably located in your downloads folder). It should install and give you a message saying it has done so.

I'm having a similar issue with my Laptop's bluetooth connection. I have an Alienware M14x, and some weeks ago I couldn't synch my phone with my laptop, specifically, after upgrading my OS to Windows 10. I tried updating my Bluetooth drivers, but it didn't work. I read that uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers could help, but the problem is that I uninstalled the drivers and decided to download other drivers, but it didn't work. Tried to reinstall the first driver I had (Qualcomm Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0) but I get this error message:

What should I do? Thanks.
