Can't connect to internet (even with ethernet cable)

[LazyJelly]

After building a new system I use my old HDD to boot but it won't let me use my pin to get in and want me to connect to the internet. The problem is that the pc is already connected to the internet via Ethernet cables and it's not recognizing it

According to your screenshot, it looks like you using wifi attenna to access the internet. Rather using direct internet access through a cable.  Do you have direct internet access through a cable or you using wifi attenna because you don't have direct internet access.

I have stated on my post above that I am using a direct ethernet cable .

It is a bad idea to use an existing system on another computer. Please do yourself a favor and install a fresh Windows on that new computer.

What most likely happened is that your Ethernet drivers are not compatibe with the new hardware and Windows wants to connect to Internet to fix the issue. Which it clearly can't do...

Since you have wifi and ethernet both active, Windows now prioritizes the wifi because that's where we are now.  You MUST turn off the wifi, as I understand it, to let the system know you do not want to use that.

 

Part of this is Windows' new ICS, Internet connection sharing, fron wifi to the Ethernet port.  I use it a lot now, and it works very well.  With this new, somewhat hidden feature in the network adapter properties, and sharing tab in that window, you no longer bridge the wifi to the Ethernet, as it doesn't work the same anymore.

THIS ^^ is the correct answer.

 

For anyone else reading this... for a temporary solution, trying an old install of Windows in a new build might work... but you can have the following happen:
  Old OS tries to repair itself in the new build and permanently renders the old OS unbootable

  Old OS now doesn't have the TPM chip (because it's in the old computer) storing the Windows Hello PIN/passwords... so you can't even log in

• @LazyJelly  you have this issue ^^
• Why does it work like this you ask?  Pretend I stole your old OS hard drive... or cloned it at a computer repair shop etc.
• AND I knew your PIN... I just stole all you data
  • But, in this situation, I can know your PIN AND have the HDD, and still can't get your data (theoretically)

Old OS has Bitlocker and so you can't even get the thing to boot

 

TL;DR putting an old OS in a new build and trying to boot it is generally a terrible idea and is way riskier to any data on that old drive than you might think.

 

One Possible Solution:

• Disconnect the old OS drive from the computer
• Install a new copy of Windows to another drive in you new build
• After it's up and running, reconnect your old OS drive as an extra drive (DO NOT BOOT TO IT)
  • Make sure you force boot to your new install... because if the old OS drive boots it can acutally corrupt your new Windows install by trying to repair the EFI partition
• Take ownership of the files on the old OS drive and get what data you need.
• Wipe the old drive so that it won't be booted accidentally
