I had to change the Windows on my laptop. After that, many of the laptop's features stopped working.
Please help.
Of course, I didn't have access to the original Windows installed on the laptop.

- Download and Install Drivers: Look for drivers related to graphics, audio, network, and any other hardware that might be affected.
2. Check for Windows Updates
