So I attempted to upgrade to Windows 10 and now my Laptop doesn't boot OS.

I'd gladly go back to Windows 7

 

My OS is on a Partitioned HD NO CD

There is a list of options when I boot up under "repair" ,"advanced options" ect

None of them work.

 

Can you help me?

 

 

Hi,

1 Can you get into safe mode?

2 Did you make a Win 7 disc image before you attempted the upgrade?

3 Did your make a System Repair disc before attempting the upgrade?

4 Can you get to a command prompt?

5 Are you happy that everything that is important to you on your machine (docs, photos, music, films, downloaded executables, product serial codes etc are safely copied to removable media and are easily reproducible?

6 Post back with the above and the make and model number of your computer and we will do our best to help

Regards

Hello,

A Friend of mine had Windows 7 CD which was my original OS. 

I did a Wipe all install 

Currently i'm unable to use the Ethernet

 

Base System Device

Base System Device

Ethernet Controller 

PCI Simple Communication Controller

SM Bus Controller  

 

All these drivers can't be located 

The Base System and Ethernet Controller are

0x16B5  Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet  0x14E4  Broadcom  (got that info from pcidatabase)

 

I managed to get the Driver for the Wifi to work by downloading it and installing but not Ethernet

Model: that i'm not so sure about. Below is what us.acer.com replied back to me after entering my SNID# 

Hope it's helpful
