Additionally, there was a time when I was working on a recent build and my internet connection failed while I was offline. I ran out of data on my mobile device, which prevented me from tethering or hotspoting. To stream media saved on my PC to the upstairs room, I used a CD to install the necessary drivers for the LAN card.
I find this confusing. You might have visited the local library, asked someone at work, used the computer at the office, mentioned you had a previous machine, and tried the preinstalled OS to set up. There could be other alternatives I haven’t thought of right now. If you do it just because you don’t want to, that’s okay. You’re welcome to try. But I believe this isn’t the best approach—it often leads to more problems later on.
I also had a second computer, but you didn’t understand my message properly—I mentioned my internet was down at night, so places like libraries were closed. I’ve never met someone who got headaches using a CD when they needed it. Installing an old driver and then upgrading won’t cause issues unless the new one is misconfigured. Just chill, buddy.
It occurs quite frequently. Often when you link your machine to the web, Windows becomes extremely active and begins scanning everything. It will locate the v1.0 driver from the CD you installed and then prompt you to upgrade to v2.0 without prompting. However, in reality, v3.0 is the newest release that manufacturers like ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Acer, HP, and Dell have released, and you're simultaneously trying to download and install it while Windows installs another version at the same time. This issue arises consistently, almost every problem related to driver installation stems from this exact situation. It also happens during Windows updates, when other programs attempt updates, and additional libraries are installed. Essentially, it's a constant struggle with Windows trying to handle everything on its own, albeit imperfectly.
