No, I do not have a backup.

I uninstalled some products and after that, I could not access the internet (neither through wireless and later through ethernet).  The trouble-shooting said 'there might be a problem with driver for the Ethernet adapter.'  or the Wi-Fi adapter.

How to reinstall the drivers when I do not have access to the internet?  This is Win 10 installed over Win 7.

I am using a different computer to post this)

    Hi Bond,

    You are on the Internet now posting this question, I presume on a Phone or another PC

    Go to the Support Page for your PC/Laptop on the manufacturers website and download the Network driver onto your Phone or other PC

    If you cannot find the correct Driver, please post the make and exact model No. of your PC./Laptop

    Then copy the file across onto your Laptop/PC and install it . . .

    Updating driver from device manager would not work.

    As you said the driver is in USB driver:

    Right Click the driver and select Update driver>Browse the computer manually,

    Select the location of the USB drive to make sure the location is included to scan.

    I google for 'Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller' and found the driver at the Marvell site. But my computer is Win 10 installed over Win 7.  The Marvell site only had Win 7 driver, which is the one I downloaded. Downloaded it, put on USB, and tried to 'update driver', but it says 'Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date'.
