No network adapter in Windows 10 VM [Resolved]

Recommended Posts

Trying to setup a working Windows 10 VM before building our server, but every time I install the Windows 10 VM, no network adapter is showing up in the VM.

Therefor no access to anything and can't rdp to it either. Has anyone got any idea's?

 

Bridging is enabled and using the right network interface (test mobo has 2x1Gb's connections).

 

Update: NVM fixed it, forgot to update the driver software...

@Xxharry I have replied in your other thread :)


Open device manager

You will see your unknown devices.

Right click the unknown device and select "update driver".

Select "Browse my computer for the driver software"

Click browse

Select the CDROM Drive virtio-win-x.x 

Then click next. Windows will scan the entire device for the location of the best-suited driver.


It should find a RedHat network adapter driver, follow the prompts and you're in business.

** I never bothered to locate the actual subfolder of the driver on the virtio-win-1-1 image, I just let windows do it for me. **

 


Hope this helps.
