I recently swapped a hhd with windows 10 on a laptop out for a win 7 hdd. i have no way of accessing the internet, as there are no drivers, and none of my usb ports (or ethernet ports) are working with anything. i have no clue on how to get the drivers. 

SPECS BELOW:

 

 

 

AMD Ryzen 3 3200g

XFX xxx ed rx 580 8gb

Asus PRIME a320m-k

G.skill aegis 2x8 2666

Western digital blue 1tb 7200rpm

Kingston a2000 250 gig

Coolermaster q300l

Thermaltake 500w 80+

Boot up in safe mode, and see if the USB ports work. You'll have to uninstall offending/confilcting drivers from safe mode.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Linux - Fedora
