Windows 10: network adapter showing warning even with correct driver installed

Essentially I have taken the SSD out of my main computer and installed it on a new laptop, so i could work on my work on the go. I knew i would have to reinstall drivers but for ages, i have just tried to install the network adapter correctly in safe mode intel wireless-ac 9560 160mhz but all i get is a warning sign by the installed driver and no internet, in the device manager. The os version on my laptop and desktop are the same, so the driver should be the same.

Install a driver for your network adapter

Go to the list of network adapters in the control panel, turn of the lan and turn it on again. See if that helps.

No Network Adapter showing

I have found the appropriate driver from the hardware ID (ven_14E4 dev_163b) and installed it. The install appears to have completed without issue, but now, instead of "Other Devices> !Ethernet controller" I have "Broadcom Skinny BCM5716 etc" under System
Devices, and still no Network Adapter category.

I have no ethernet connectivity as Network Connections show no network adapters.

I realise that there is little manufacturer support from Dell for consumer Windows versions, with the T310 being server hardware, but hoped that the third-party driver would work. Should I try to find another driver, or is there a workaround to get windows
to recognise it as a network adapter?

If I update the driver with the windows-installed broadcom netxtreme gigabit, it warns me, installs driver, and I get the hardware listed under Network Adapters, but with an exclamation mark. If I then upgrade driver to my downloaded one, Network Adapters disappears,
and the broadcom goes back under System Devices.

Win10-32; Dell Poweredge T310; dual-port NIC, apparently Broadcom BCM5716 NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Controller
