Realtek wireless lan 802.11n usb and win 10

Just updated to Win 10 and all seemed to go smooth until I unplugged the computer from my router and took it out to my garage and tried to install a Realtek RTL8188eu network adapter. I have the driver disk and no matter what I do it does not recognize the wireless adapter. Sorry if this has been covered before but I searched and couldn't locate any information on this.

It works fine hooking to the internet when hard wired but the wireless feature isn't good.

Any help is appreciated.
 
Is the driver meant for Windows 10? Can you plug the adapter into the PC while still hard wired and let windows look online for a driver?
 
Interesting, just tried that and it said the driver is up to date. When I go to device manager and click on the properties for the wireless adapter the device status says: Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)
 
Realtek's page only shows drivers up to Win7. If they wrote drivers for their older hardware, how could they sell you new hardware?
 
I have friends who have had to purchase new printers just because the latest windows 10 update cased the computer not to recognize the printer!
 
That doesn't surprise me at all. Can anyone using Win 10 point me in the right direction on what wireless USB adapter would work?
 
Well I solved it somehow. I went to device manger and un-installed it, then searched for hardware then told it to look for driver and let me chose and a dialog box appeared with two Realtek drivers and one was signed so I clicked on it and it installed and everything works fine. Not sure if that was exact because I was running between two computers but it works now.
 
RealTek 8812AU USB3.0 AC1200 dual-band wifi works.

Rosewill AC1200 (with the flip-up antenna, no longer sold new), Edimax (looks identical, except in white plastic), PremierTek PT-8812AU (sold on ebay).
