Asus are normally pretty lousy as well, once the board has been out a few months. Best option tends to be to check what brand of Wifi/Bluetooth/chipset is and get it from the component manufacturer.t3toooo wrote:Don't forget to have a look and update your board drivers though.On the Asus site there are newer drivers for WiFi ,Bluetooth and for Chipset (ME) for newer boards.I guess Microsoft can't and won't be so fast to include them directly in the major update.
If your on an Intel board for instance, all three of those *might* be Intel hardware. In which case go to www.intel.com and download the system update tool.
Wired network and GPU are normally worth doing too. If you can't suss out what a component is then head over to https://www.piriform.com/speccy or https://www.belarc.com/products_belarc_advisor and grab the tool, run a system scan and track down the results.
You still could have bound the license to your Microsoft account though, without the need to rebuy, no matter what support workers from India tell you. My last 2 contacts with Microsoft activation support were absolutely horrible. The women i talked to hardly understood me, because they weren't even from Germany, it seemed. And they had no idea either. "Huh, you activated Windows 10 with a Windows 7 key?? Impossible... Your version is also a OEM license, which can't be transferred...". Well, both wrong, my dear ladies.
