Nerdery, I need your help.

I have tried to use two different USB wireless adapters (Asus & Linksys) for my custom built gaming rig. I have downloaded the drivers for each one from their respective manufacturer's site and every time I get a Code 10 error message.

I know that this message means a driver error typically, but I could not have had two bad drivers in a row. So I am wondering what else might be the issue. I have an old MOBO (GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3) so I was wondering if that would be causing the issue. I have Windows 10 64 bit also.

Are the wireless adapters rated for windows 10? I have a few old ones that only worked up to windows 7 and nothing I did made them work with 10.

They're relatively new Asus and Netgear adapters. The one I have right now is the Asus USB68C

Go to your device manager and see if your machine is even recognizing the card,
