Hello,

 

My brother has my old Lenovo G570 Laptop which had windows 7 pre-installed. He has downloaded lots of games when i told him not to because it doesnt have much space, so when Windows 10 came out we gave it the upgrade but it was basicly full i was trying to factory reset it but couldnt and accidently formated it and couldnt get it back to win 7. Now that i was able to install win 10 on it i cant get the drivers for the wi-fi. The warranty as expired and wanted to know if someone could help me in finding out which drivers i should download i have downloaded most of them, but most of the network drivers wont let me install them.

 

Heres the link for the drivers: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g570-notebook?TabName=Downloads

If you can install the Ethernet drivers, connect an Ethernet cable to the laptop, Windows 10 might be able to grab the WiFi drivers for you.
