New build cant connect to the internet

kickbackskull · Feb 4, 2018

I finished my new pc build. However, it can't connect to the internet. Seems simple, but im using a linksys usb to connect and it needs the drivers. I try installing the drivers but windows isnt activated. It needs to be activated to do anything other then the store but it needs internet to be activated...

If the adapter came with drivers install them. Or whatever you're on now get the drivers then install them

Paul NZ :

Can't install the drivers because windows says you cant install anything outside the windows store...

What version of win10 did you install?? Win10 S?

If you did thats why. You'll have to buy a version that isnt Win10 S

You must have installed the Windows 10 S version instead of the Windows 10 Home or Pro version.

Windows 10 S is a feature-limited edition of Windows 10 designed primarily for low-end devices in the education market. It has a faster initial setup and login process, and allows devices to be provisioned using a USB drive with the "Set Up School PCs" app. Windows 10 S only allows the installation of software (both Universal Windows Platform and Windows API apps) from Windows Store, although command line programs or shells (even from Windows Store) are not allowed. System settings are locked to only allow Microsoft Edge as the default web browser with Bing as its search engine. The operating system may be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro for a fee, to enable unrestricted software installation. All Windows 10 S devices include a free one-year subscription to Minecraft: Education Edition. Critics have compared the edition to Windows RT, and have considered it to be a competitor to Chrome OS. February 2018, Neowin reported that Microsoft was experimenting with bringing a feature called "S Mode" from the Enterprise to the Home and Pro editions of Windows 10.

Still you have windows 10 s. This means that you cannot install ANYTHING that is not on the windows store (so basically anything usefull cannot be installed). I advice you to reinstall windows but this time select windows 10 home.
