So I built my PC recently and everything seemed to be working fine until I finally tried to download my drivers. I realized that my Ethernet was not working and then discovered that the driver was not installed for it. So I went to my motherboard box and found that there was a disc for the motherboard driver but I do not have an optical drive in my PC. Is there any way I can get the drivers installed without purchasing an optical drive? Help and responses are GREATLY appreciated.

1. Use the internet on a different computer to download the network driver to a usb stick

2. Use an optical drive on another computer to copy the network driver to a usb stick

3. Download the driver software on your phone, attach it to the computer via usb cable and install it from there (assuming you have a Windows or Android phone)

4. Buy a usb optical drive for 20 bucks
