Hi Pauls, I blame FRI 13th?  I hadn’t been on computer all week as I had been busy elsewhere, so I thought I would try what you requested in your last reply, then I noticed that the  red x on the internet icon on the taskbar was not lit and internet was connected, then I had a pop-up from AVG antivirus saying I need to update,  This I did which required a reset, BUT when it rebooted no internet! although I tried all the usual things to get it to connect it wouldn’t . So I left it, as it was late Fri night and tried again Sat and lo and behold internet was back and still is [Sun Evening] so whatever happened is still a mystery.??. I have updated the ethernet driver and a couple of others and internet is still OK. Should I upgrade to WIN 10 now or leave it a few days to make sure it’s settled down? I just want to say a big THANK-YOU for all your help and patience, Thanks and Regards Anthony

Hi Paul K, I have copied what you asked for to a USB stick , But for the life of me I cannot get it to copy when I’m in this computer. Am I doing something wrong in windows 7 before sending it to the USB or when I open it in this computer.? If I try to open it in notepad all I get is a load of rubbish [Gobbledegook] as we say over here!  Sorry for all this hassle.  Regards Anthony

Hi Paul T,  Sorry but that didn’t work, I did as was suggested, I unplugged the ethernet cable and it did show internet   disabled, I uninstalled the Network card  and re-installed it  and the I entered the MAC code in the Physical address line .After another CMD it now shows the Mac code and also show DHCP as enabled ,but still won’t connect! I notice that the bottom two paragraphs in the CMD shows  no MAC code and DHCP as not enabled . I was wondering how can the computer upload a new  Realtek driver if it can’t connect to the internet?  I wish I had your knowledge of these things ,but at 79 I think it’s a bit too late to learn!!  Regards Anthony,

Hi Paul T,  Thank you once again I have found and entered the MAC address and checked result and it shows in CMD, but still internet! so now how do I enable DHCP?.  Regards  Anthony

Hi Paul K , I hope this is what you require,?  It took me ages as this computer couldn’t recognise the flash drive for some strange reason?!?  Regards Anthony

Hi Paul K & Paul T, I’m Back! Is it OK to post this to both of you to save duplicating it?,  I hope I have done everything right, I have added a couple of attachments and I’ve had to type in the CMD as I couldn’t get it into this computer from the troublesome one.   Which is  {C:windows\system32\>ipconfig /all> desktop\ipconfig.txt ]  The reply is [The system cannot find the path specified]   I was talking to somebody in hospital about it he said it could have been caused by a windows update is this so?. I opened system restore and the last update was early in the year would it be feasible to go back that far ?,There is hardly any files on that computer only card games the the wife plays. I hope you can understand all this Regards  Anthony

Hi Paul K and Paul T, Sorry I haven’t posted I’ve not been well,  will post again soon.NOT covid!! Regards anthony

Hi PKCano, Thanks for your update, yes I do know about Syntax,  but when I tried it the proper way I still got the same message so I tried it in different ways and still the same message.? regards Anthony

Hi Paul T,  thanks for your reply how do I send it to you? Anthony

Hi Anthony

If Win7 is showing 2 networks connections and one is the dreaded “Unidentified Network” it may be all you need is a simple reset of the IP stack.  From an CMD window (run as Admin) issue the command:

netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

Then once this has completed please reboot the system and hopefully the local network problem will be resolved.  See how you go.

 

Hi 36dups thanks for your answer but I’m sorry this did not work I tried it 3 times but it’s still there.Anthony

In Disk Management, does the HDD have an assigned drive letter?

Hi BB, Yes. Local disc (E;)

Is the HDD installed and connected to the motherboard? If so, open Disk Management and see if it is visible to Windows. If you could also use the Snipping Tool to grab and post a screenshot here (of the Disk Management window), that would help to understand what’s going on with your system.

Hi BB, Yes it is installed and connected to motherboard and shows in disc management as being healthy.I took a snip but for the life of me I couldn’t get it in here!!.I apologise if you get this twice I thought I had deleted the first one

Hi Wavy, Thanks for the prompt replay.Yes,you’ve hit the nail on head that is exactly what i’m wanting to do,but I don’t seem able to!.

Hi again Wavy can you tell me how I can do this,?.

Legally, no. When you upgraded to Windows 10, you transferred the Windows 7 license to Windows 10 and it is no longer available for Windows 7 installs. It doesn’t matter if its a retail or OEM license.

Hi,Thanks for your prompt reply,I’m sorry to hear that..

FYI that is a Non sequitur , just because you bought a hard copy does non imply it is Retail, most of the OS disks I see for sale are in fact OEM. Given that you have it on a new MB it would seem to be retail. But what you want to do is ‘double dipping’ and is frowned upon and maybe disallowed by MS.

When I first read your post I thought you were having problems accessing your old HDD, is this the motivation for your question?

:cheers:
