No Internet & No Drivers after a Fresh Install of Windows OS
“My laptop had a virus so I installed a new fresh version of Windows 7, now that is done I quickly realize that I can't access the Internet due to there being no drivers installed. The wireless drivers and every other Internet driver are not installed. I am trying to install from USB stick but not installing, please tell me what should I do?" --- Quoted from Spice Community

Lots of users can't access the Internet after reinstalling Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows XP, and if you've updated to the new Windows 10, you've probably got this no Internet issue. "How to check my computer to install Lan driver? How to solve and prevent this problem?" This is what I will demonstrate today in this article.

This way is easy and recommended since it is a smart, quick and automatic solution!
We have introduced that Driver Talent (formerly called DriveTheLife) offers a smart and automatic driver download, install, fix and update solution for all Windows users. But it needs a continuous Internet connection to do all the jobs. So what if there is no network driver and no Internet to download the driver?
That is why Driver Talent for Network Card is designed. Driver Talent for Network Card, as its name tells us, is specially developed to solve network card driver problems. It has a large size because all major network adapter drivers are integrated in its local library so that it is able to install network drivers or LAN drivers without Internet connection.
Now let's start to explore how to use it.
Step 1. Go to a computer whose network connection is available. Download Driver Talent for Network Card via the button below and save the .EXE file to a USB drive. (If you have not such computer around you, you can also download the utility via your iPhone or Android phone or other network available devices.)
Step 2. Connect the USB drive to your computer and copy the installer file. Then run the .EXE file to install Driver Talent for Network Card.
Step 3. Launch the utility and it will start scanning automatically without any advanced configuration. (Are you wondering when the network driver is installed? It is installed during the process of installing Driver Talent for Network Card.) Once this tool is installed, the network driver is installed successfully.
Step 4. Restart the computer. You will see that the computer has Internet access again. If you want to install other drivers, you can complete all the jobs with one "Update" or "Download" click.
