My computer stopped working because of drivers not being up to date. Sounds like a simple fix but the internet also doesn't work due to no drivers. Now my next choice would be to download the drivers on an another computer and transfer it using a USB but unfortunately, now my USB ports don't work either so there's no way to install drivers. I finally tried to factory reset but once I got to the reset, it said I needed a windows disc which I don't have or can find since my computer is Windows 7. Anyone know any solutions?

Not trying to be rude or anything, genuine question. How would i install windows 10 without being able to access the internet or usb ports?

Through optical media. You don't need drivers to use a CD drive.

huh

ok, maybe put your Drives in another PC, and back up all your files that you want to keep

then, put your drives back in, and load a USB drive w/ win10

in the bios, try loading the boot drive w/ windows

 

If none of that works, ull need new stuff

Maybe put drivers on a dvd or cd then install them from that.
