Posted March 30, 2016 So I got this Samsung NP300E4A-B03VE with Windows 7 Starter 32 bit OS. The issue is I cannot connect to the internet with wifi or an Ethernet cord. Network connections shows nothing. I have went to the manufactures page and downloaded the most recent drivers. In device manager the errors are on the Miniport WAN (IP), (IPv6), and (Network Monitor). I have looked up the drivers for these by hardware ID and haven't found any driver downloads. Just a bunch of adware. I have attempted to follow this guide with no success LINK. Also have followed this guide LINK2, and am unable to find proper "devcon.exe" to complete their guide. Oh and the OS language is in Spanish! Doesn't help me much haha. The computer I am trouble shooting with is a 64 bit btw. Im getting tired of reading other guides that are complete trash and wont work. This is beyond my skills. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 30, 2016 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-or-change-a-display-language This will help you change the language. There is not much troubleshooting you can do unless you do that...Did you buy the system used or new? After doing that, search for network adapters and tell us what you see Please vote for Donald Trump. I am out of sitcoms to watch.

After doing that, search for network adapters and tell us what you see It is Windows starter not windows ultimate. Which is a requirement for those lang packs you linked. I tried visalator as well and doesn't work with starter either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download W10 from the microsoft website and later you can pay for the activation key. Instructions to make a bootable USB are there all over the internet. Please vote for Donald Trump.

Posted March 31, 2016 Spanish makes it difficult, but I'm willing to bet that "WAN" adapters are for an internal cell based card. So you could connect to AT&T/T-Mobile etc.. I highly doubt that is for the RJ45 port. The RealTEK is your ethernet driver, and it looks fine. When you go to Network Connections, what adapters do you see? (No idea what the limitations are for Starter, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't qualify for a Windows 10 free update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is showing nothing in network connections. It offers a free upgrade but it won't download because I cannot get a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you go to command prompt and just fire ipconfig /all? It shouldn't even mention windows 10 if there's no connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
