Internet down after reinstalling Windows

Windows doesn't have drivers for every single obscure piece of hardware that might be installed. You need to either use the cd that came with your motherboard to install the network drivers (and all the other ones) FOR THAT MB (and then update the using your internet connection of course).

Or download them on a separate device like a laptop and move them onto a usb so you can install them on your computer.

Hello,

today I upgraded my cpu from an FX 6300 to a ryzen 3 1200 with the Asrock b350 pro 4 mAtx and after upgrading my pc became slow with everyday tasks like opining files and browser and i think the lag is because of the Oc or something so i reseted the bois but it was still too slow so I thought i Could format my HDD and reinstall windows but now my Internet stopped working with ethernet and when troubleshooting it says ethernet doesnt have a valid IP configuration and I tried restarting pc , unplugging cable from router and pc and reinstalling the network adapter driver but nothing helped.

ideas ?
