   Windows 10 HP Laptop is missing the network driver

   Recently, my little sister's laptop has been having issues connecting to the internet, and after troubleshooting a little bit, the computer gave me back "we could not find a driver for your network adapter". All of the guides I have looked at online show that you need to delete a certain special adapter file in this network adapter section shown below, but that file wasn't even there to begin with. Now, not too long before we ran into this issue, my little sister used this laptop in the rain. I don't know if that helps or not, but there you go. Help? :)

   Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

   Wait, but have you done the whole step-by-step guide described in the OP? DDL/DTS isn't supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 either, unless if you do the steps listed there.Click to expand...

   DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .
