Windows 10 fresh install

DeNasty · May 17, 2016

I just installed windows 10 on a custom build off of Microsoft's usb drive and the operating system has no Ethernet drivers so I called Microsoft did a second fresh install and still unable to connect to the Internet so the obvious thing to do is use another computer download the driver and flash drive it over to my new pc. The only other computer is a MacBook I have the driver on the MacBook but can't move it to the Windows 10 install flash drive and the portable hdd I have used with my Mac won't even show up on the Windows computer. How do I get the driver or is there some other option or is there something I'm missing

Go to disk management to see if the hard disk shows up there, then give it a drive letter and profit.

You should be able to format the drive as NTFS and it should show up on Windows and Mac.

After the USB was created for the install, you can use the same usb to copy the drivers from the mac to the usb. Pretty sure that tool sets it as NTFS.

If worse comes to worse, got a cd drive and your mobo disk?

Well I tried the ntfs drive I can copy files off of ntfs but can't put them onto ntfs and Windows won't recognize the file system the Mac uses. The Windows computer shows the Mac drive in the device manager but the system won't recognize it in any other way

External usb ones normally do not need a driver. Unless they're light scribe etc.

Follow this guide to format a USB for mac and windows, then use the said usb to transfer the driver.
