so recently I had installed Windows Technical preview (Windows 10 beta) and rather than giving me the ISO to dual boot with Microsoft decided to just install the damn thing for me :/
Upon downloading windows 10 preview I had noticed that my network driver was still applied regardless I had done a windows format (Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet). This then meant that I had seen an exclamation mark on the network symbol and upon diagnosing the problem, it comes back saying the ip configurations are wrong. So I decided to format back to windows 8.
Despite absolutely erasing my hard drive completely using a data destruction disk completely wiping out the hard drive, when I installed windows 8, again I was faced with the same error. How it managed to get the drivers to function the Ethernet I don't know usually I would manually install them on windows 7.
I have tried resetting the ipconfigs but still no luck. I can go back to windows 7 but I preferably want to stick with windows 8 for now just for the faster performance
This problem has never happened before and has only just started after installing the tech preview!
Also as a side question when I install windows 8 it will show on the desktop in the corner "windows 8 pro build 9200" does that mean I am still considered a developer after installing the tech preview.
