Hi Roomies,
I just pick up my old PC from the shop with a used motherboard and no internet connection.
I have tried all I know and nothing. The shop is close cause of a holiday and everything else looks like is working fine.
I must activate my Win 10 Pro again with the new hardware and that will be my next step.
Thank you.
Have you tried to Disable/Enable adapter? That usually changes Not Connected status to Connected.

It is configured for DHCP but not getting an address.
You could try these...
169.254.x.x IP Address
169.254.x.x means your connection is configured to get a IP from your router but can't for some reason. The link above has some ideas to check (rebooting the router etc).
If that doesn't work you could check your IP4 settings - right click on the adapter and select properties, then double click on IP4. The top picture is shows getting the IP from router (which is what I do) but you could change it to something like the bottom one and specify a static IP address - for example 192.168.1.55. Must be an IP no other device is using though.
Actually it should be your router that allocates you an IP address.
Open Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections. Double-click on your Ethernet connection to open its Properties. Click on 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' to select it, then click the Properties button, this is where a fixed IP address would have been set up. Now select 'Obtain an IP address automatically'.
