Windows 10 Installation

[Stephen King]

I've a Windows 7 Pro computer but have a subscription to msdn where I downloaded the Windows 10 Enterprise edition. My older computer failed installation numerous times for a 0xC1900101 - 0x4001E error which research showed to be some type of compatibility error. The recommendation was to install by selecting "keep files only". That worked and all my apps disappeared which is OK but my NIC card and wireless drivers were both bad. So my computer is not on the Internet and I can't update the drivers to a Windows 10 compatible driver. I can't change any settings because I have to activate first and to activate I need connection to the Internet. I downloaded a driver wizard to install the Windows compatible drivers but it too failed because I wasn't on the Internet. Now the only thing I want to do is "Go Back" to Windows 7, update any drivers to Windows 10 drivers and reinstall the Windows 10 Enterprise. My goal is to get to Windows 10 with at least my network surviving.

Another way to proceed would be to uninstall all my apps from Windows 7 so I could upgrade without selecting "keep files only" and, in theory, my drivers and network configuration would work.

My search for a preprocessor to advise which apps won't be compatible with Windows 10 has failed. There was one for upgrading to Windows 7 but I've been unable to find one for installing to Windows 10. Apparently if I used the normal upgrade to Windows 10 process it provides a notice of those uncompatible applications.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I do not understand why you are even trying to install Windows 10 Enterprise at all?
The Windows 10 Pro upgrade is free to you on your Windows 7 Pro machine.
Why don't you download the drivers that you need for your network adapters in advance of the upgrade and put them on a USB ThumbDrive of Burn them onto a CD or DVD?
I just did an upgrade on an HP Laptop and early on in the upgrade process it told me exactly which programs were not compatible and needed to be removed before the upgrade could proceed.

Burn it to a DVD using ImgBurn or onto a USB ThumbDrive using Rufus and then use one of them and run setup.exe from within your Windows 7 install to perform the in-place upgrade.
After which install the drivers for your network adapter.
