If you have access to another PC with internet connection, download LAN drivers from official website of the manufacturer, put them on USB drive and install them from USB in your PC.

A. The MoBo came with a CD in the box, use it. If you didn't buy an optical drive for the new build, Copy the contents to a USB stick using another computer that does. Running Windows Update before installing hardware drivers is a bad idea.
B. You don't want to use Windows Update until you have done Steps 4 and 5 below
1. Prepare for Windows installation with USB tool

2. Connect boot drive data cable to lowest numbered SATA port .... but don't connect:
-Ethernet cable
-SATA Data Cable for any other drives
3. Install Windows to boot drive
4. Turn off Windows ability to install Hardware drivers

5. Install all hardware drivers from original media in boxes See Item 7 below
6. Connect ethernet cable and run Windows Update till it stops doing anything
7. Install latest drivers for ALL hardware from manufacturers web sites. The reason we didn't do this in step 5 is 3 fold:
-Sometimes MoBo CD comes with licensed utilities with product key embedded and these are not on web site versions
-Its advisable to establish a working out of box conditions
-Sometimes newer drivers require latest Windows Updates
If you have a 2nd drive ....
8. Shut down and connect HD data cable to 2nd lowest numbered SATA port.
9. Boot to BIOS and make sure that SSD is the 1st boot device, if not fix it
10. Boot to Windows
I have windows installed already on the hard-drive my problem is that it won't let me log in it keeps asking for the last known password and I put that in and it tells me it's not connected to the net please try last known password I have the driver for MB but it won't pick up on them it just goes straight to windows log in
