After installing Win 10 Pro, my Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN adapter has become out of date.

Hello. After upgrading from Win 7 Ultimate to Win 10 Pro, the chaos started. So, my daily scenario shows me several BDOSs, lose work, wasted time and so on. The verdict is: the driver ( NETwLv32.sys ) is not compatible with the new OS. My question is: any driver update will be available in a short time? Hope a positive response about that. Please help! Thank you in advance for any advice, Kind regards, greysmouth BO IT.

Thanks anyway. Because of two Intel system files do I have to buy a new laptop? Maybe a new supported driver would be released for Win7,I hope so. Regards, greysmouth BO IT.

The Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN has reached End of Interactive Support, so we do not expect any new drivers to be released for this adapter. You can find details about this in the advisory:

The last driver update for this adapter in Windows 7* was Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers 15.3.1 that can be obtained at the following location:

Hello Jonathan. Thank you again for helping me. Actually the driver you mentioned is installed on my PC. I also have run the OS Compatibility Troubleshooter in Win 7 mode, with no success. So, now the only thing to do in order to resolve my problem, is going back to Win 7 (if I am allowed to do that). Please, consider this post of mine as the end of the discussion, and no solution found. My best regards to all of you, greysmouth BO IT.
