I purchased an AMD prebuilt with Gigabyte A520M-K motherboard. During the previous Windows 10 installation, drivers loaded automatically, including Ethernet, even before completing setup. Recently, after attempting Windows 11 installation (which failed), I reinstalled Windows 10 again. However, my activation disappeared, and no drivers appeared automatically. I had to manually download Ethernet from their site on another machine. Although it now works perfectly, I’m worried I made a mistake, especially since I lost the activation after trying to install Windows 11.

When you reinstalled Windows 10 via the built-in "restore to factory settings," the pre-set software might have contained the drivers. Switching from Windows 11 back to Windows 10 using your own install media from Microsoft’s site would not include the driver files.

I previously utilized Microsoft's installation discs and they performed perfectly; however, it seems something may have failed during the Windows 11 setup process.

Gigabyte once included a script in the BIOS to automatically install drivers, but it contained security flaws and is no longer part of current BIOS updates.
