    Thank You @Tony D and @plodr I finally reloaded the PC, and everything seems to be working! You had mentioned downloading new drivers! How would I find and download those drivers? Thanks John

    Windows will find drivers for common hardware all by itself once it's connected to the Internet. It'll do that while it updates.

    The Device Manager will show you what drivers are needed. There are a few ways to get to the Device Manager. I like using the Windows Key + X. Then select Device Manager. If there are any drivers needed, they will be indicated by a red mark in the list of devices. After that it gets a bit complicated.

    @Tony D I just got into Device Manager, and saw the long list! Nothing is showing any red marks, so I assume everything is good! Thanks again for all your Help!

    No red marks is a good thing.
