    if Yellow exclamation mark is present
    double click on it
    choose "Details" tab
    from dropdown menu, select HardwareIDs
    click on the first value and copy/paste it here

    probably you will need to install it manually

     

    about Intel wifi, you need to install the windows 8.1 version on compatibility mode.

    right click the installer,properties, compatibility, choose Run this program in compatibility mode and select windows 8.1

    Broadcom LAN adapter:

    - still yellow exclamation Smiley Sad

    WiFi Link 5100:

    seem that there isn't any driver for Win 8.1 because (here) Intel site says that "These Intel wireless adapters are not supported with Windows 8.1:"

    about Intel wifi, windows 10 will download the correct driver once connected to a data connection, so let's try to enable the wired connection first.

     

    please uninstall both adapter right click them from device manager, tick to uninstall software too, reboot.

     

    once rebooted install the Broadcom drivers from my link above.

    Already I did it but still doesn't work Smiley Sad


    Anyway, I connected Win10 to the Internet, using an Android-USB tethering, but WiFi driver wasn't updated. Smiley Sad
