Hello, so I just recently replaced a hard drive in my laptop and just reinstalled Windows. Now I'm trying to install my network adapter drivers but I'm having trouble. I'm using my niece's computer to put the drivers onto a USB. When I put the USB into the other computer and go to install the drivers, it tells me I need an internet connection... I thought these drivers were able to be installed without internet, since the whole point of the driver is to give me my internet. I'm at a loss, please help me. 

 

 

EDIT: I fixed it. Just redownloaded the driver and now it's all working smoothly. Huh.
