    Lost Internet connection when upgrading to Windows 10


    When upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 I lost Internet connection.

    On the installation DVD for the motherboard asus z170 pro gaming it says "Windows 10 Ready", so the network drivers should work I think. Just to be sure, I did download the latest drivers from here:
    https://www.asus.com/se/Motherboards...Desk_Download/

    But it doesn't seem to make a difference, since I'm gettings this message when trying to run the installation:
    Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. to configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs on the Control Panel.
    Should I remove the existing version and install again?

    I have also tried "Method # 1: Resetting Winsock and TCP/IP" described on this page:
    http://appuals.com/best-fix-losing-i...ng-windows-10/

    It didn't make any difference. Then they suggest:
    "Method # 2: Updating Network Adapter Drivers", but this is basically what I've already have done, but I didn't go through the Device Manager and if I would have I wouldn't know which dll (or whatever file) to look for. Instead I did download the latest drivers, run the installation file (AsusSetup) and got the message:
    Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. to configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs on the Control Panel.
    Actually if I use D-link Wifi Adapter it does connect to my router and I can get internet connection that way, but not when going through the "LAN (RJ-45) port" on "ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING".

    So when using Windows 7 I was able to connect through:
    "LAN (RJ-45) port" on "ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING"
    D-link Wifi Adapter

    After upgrading to Windows 10, I can only use:
    D-link Wifi Adapter.

    So why do Microsoft release an upgrade that messes up my internet connection? Any suggestions on how to correct this?

    Uninstall the Network device and drivers, reboot and then reinstall the latest drivers from Asus website for the onboard adapter.
