Network adapter.

[recman]

Quick question. The box with the x is the onboard network adapter. Its not compatible with the latest windows update so I had to restore to an earlier version. Can I uninstall it and fit a more up to date adapter in the slots circled?

How old is that PC that Windows 10 doesn't support the onboard NIC?

Should be an option to disable the onboard NIC in the BIOS

Most compatible adaptors will be designed for a PCI-express slot, and the slots you highlight are PCI which is completely different. But you have two pci-express slots (the yellow ones) so you can use one of those.

You have two options:
1. Use a USB wifi device.
2. Move your graphics card into the slot below its current one to give it more space. Get a PCI-express network card and put it into the top slot. The second slot is technically slower but your graphics card is slow anyway so it doesn't matter.

You can also get USB-to-Ethernet adaptors. You'll need a USB3.0 port to get close to gigabit speeds.

Updates dont normaly remove support for hardware.
maybe you just need to find a proper set of drivers.

For how much Mobo`s cost why not update while you are having issues?

According to the specs (Foxconn G31MX) the onboard NIC is a RealTek RTL8111B.

What's the card doing with the Win10 drivers? Yellow exclamation with a Code 10?

Might want to try here:

Win 10 x64 / x32 will support drivers that are based on Win 8 / 8.1 and often Win7 with a bit of hacking.

Depends how bored you are tbh and how good your google skills are.

Also USB Nic are available. Or USB Wifi adapters.

Before you do anything, check whether you run the latest motherboard BIOS. You would be surprised how long motherboard manufacturer support their HW.

My current B150 chipset (Skylake) could not do NVME, Kabylake CPUs... and some other issues as new HW standards came. Updating the BIOS/UEFI solved all that, also locked my from OC'ing my CPU, but that was never something I would do. *OC'ing is pointless these days.

Check it, it costs nothing to check it.

A work colleague has been pricing up some components for me.
Basically I* should be able to build something that trounces my old machine in every department for 200 to 250.
