Problem with laptop internet access.
Problem with laptop internet access.
Hi, a few months back my Windows 8.1 showed as connected but wasn’t actually working. After a week of troubleshooting, I decided to reset the whole laptop and wipe everything, which led me to need a Windows installation or recovery media. I used a system image recovery, but it disabled Windows 8.1. Now I’m stuck—how can I get my internet back? I’ve tried everything, including using a USB drive, but it doesn’t recognize the laptop. Please help me out.
Begin by checking your system settings and ensure the device is properly connected. Use commands like ipconfig to verify the network status. Observe whether the connection is wired or wireless and confirm that other devices can communicate as expected. This will help identify any issues or configuration problems.
