mjd79 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Hi, the integrated network card in my computer is probably broken... I found an old 3COM on PCI, unfortunately it only has drivers for 32 bit systems. I am not able to install it through the device manager because the architecture does not match. Is it possible to get around this somehow? Thank you in advance for your answer Edited March 12, 2023 by mjd79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to switch to 10 x86 to use it or get a USB wireless adapter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to use the card, you can dual boot 10 x86 and x64 and use it on 10 x86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance for your answer I don't really know if this is possible (ive never used a network card) but with as much talented people as there is here solution should be a easy to find solution for this -legacyfan Edited March 13, 2023 by legacyfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been convinced that he does not work. Problem solved Edited March 13, 2023 by mjd79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
