Windows 10: Clean reinstall of Windows 10 Pro - Regular network adapter disconnection

Hello,


Last weekend a fresh Windows 10 Pro installation was performed on my machine. Since that moment my network adapter randomly disconnects, usually after a period of inactivity and states that no network was found. My first assumption was that this was related to Power Management and this was disabled for both network adapters.





This did not resolve the issue. The only way to enable / start up the adapter is by either physically plugging the cable out and back in or restarting the system.


An alternate solution would be to update the drivers, but this network adapter (RealTek 8122L) is part of an older motherboard (Asus P7P55D-E Deluxe). And for this model there are no Windows 10 drivers available from the manufacturer's website.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (-:

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
