Windows 10: I have a new PC running Windows 11 Professional but the software I need to use won't...

Hi I bought a new PC running Windows 11 Pro to replace a older one which the hard drive failed. The software I need to use doesn't operate correctly on Windows 11 but it worked perfectly well on Windows 10 Professional. How can I replace the Windows 11 with Windows 10.I have already purchased a new product key I cannot find a way to replace the operating system.

New Windows 11 Professional PC not recognized by router with wired ethernet connection?

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It sounds like you've already taken a thorough approach to troubleshooting the issue. Since you've ruled out many common factors, I'll provide a few more steps you can try to diagnose and potentially resolve the problem of your new Windows 11 Professional PC not being recognized by your router with a wired Ethernet connection:

1. Driver Update and Reinstallation:
   
   • While you mentioned that you installed the Realtek Ethernet driver, it's worth double-checking if there are any updated drivers available from the motherboard manufacturer's website. Sometimes, motherboard-specific drivers can help ensure compatibility.
     
2. Static IP Configuration:
   
   • Try assigning a static IP address to your Windows 11 PC. This can sometimes help in situations where automatic IP assignment is causing issues. Configure the static IP within the Windows network settings and ensure it's within the same subnet as your router.
     
3. Network Reset:
   
   • Open the Windows 11 "Settings" app.
     
   • Go to "Network & internet" > "Status."
     
   • Scroll down and click on "Network reset."
     
   • Follow the prompts to reset your network settings. This will remove and reinstall all network adapters and reset your network settings to their default.
     
4. Driver Uninstallation and Clean Install:
   
   • Uninstall the Realtek Ethernet driver completely.
     
   • Reboot your computer.
     
   • Install the latest driver you downloaded from Realtek or your motherboard manufacturer's website.
     
5. Network Troubleshooter:
   
   • Run the built-in Network Troubleshooter in Windows 11:
     
     1. Right-click on the network icon in the system tray.
        
     2. Select "Troubleshoot problems."
        
     3. Follow the prompts to let Windows attempt to diagnose and fix network issues.
        
6. Consider Another Network Adapter:
   
   • If the issue persists, you might consider getting a separate Ethernet PCIe adapter (a different brand) and installing it in your PC. This can help determine if the issue is specifically related to the Realtek adapter.
     
7. Try a Different Router or Connection:
   
   • If possible, try connecting your PC to a different router or network to see if the issue persists. This can help narrow down whether the problem is related to the PC or the network.
     

Remember that network-related issues can be complex, and the solution might require a combination of steps.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
