None of the wireless adapters work on my PC

So after trying several different wireless adapters on my PC, I've come to the conclusion that there's something wrong with it that's preventing me to use wireless on it, although a sfc scan tells me there's nothing weird.

I've tried Asus USB-N53 and Rosewell RNX-N180UBE, both work well on other machines but not my PC, the only thing that had worked was poor old D-Link DWL-G132, until I tried to uninstall and re-install its driver just a few moments ago.

What PC motherboard or model? If you delete all the old wireless drivers you should be able to use a new wireless (PCIe or USB) adapter, although Windows can be a pain and one easy fix can be to just change your wireless adapter MAC address using the free program HERE.

Have you also tried the usual fixes like resetting and flushing things with command prompt commands like:

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
ipconfig /flushdns

Have tried uninstalling every driver before re-installing each one, nothing seemed to work, so I just went ahead and re-installed Windows on my PC, now it's finally working properly. Well, it has been 2 or 3 years since I last did that, so it was about time I guess. Thanks for anssering though.
