[SOLVED] Went back to windows 7 pro x64 from windows 10 there is no internet or anything

http://speccy.piriform.com/results/5L6LtjY231RMnZqSHYCgol7 This is the speccy summary of graphics card, motherboard, and list of drivers from windows 10. This is a custom built PC with an asrock motherboard.

Because I had a ton of issues on Windows 10 I reinstalled windows 7 from a USB iso drive, because I don't have the CD that also installs the required drivers.

The issues:

1. There is no internet, and the computer doesn't recognize that the ethernet port is plugged in, even though Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC is installed.
and only Usb 2.0 recognizes any USBs, probably because 3.0 isn't installed.
2. There are drivers that aren't installed that are crucial. The list it shows on device manager are:
Ethernet Controller
PCI simple communications controller
SM BUS controller
Universal Serial BUS (USB) Controller
Universal BUS (USB) Controller

The fixes I've tried:

Put broadcom netlink ethernet installer on a USB and try to install it, the install gets interrupted before it can finish (that's the message it gives after it tries installing for a bit.

Put usb 3.0 installer from asrock on USB and try to install, it says I don't meet system requirements.

Update: I enabled ethernet and both of the 3.0 usb ports now, HOWEVER:
The audio jack will not work at all, the headset I plugged in to it is not recognized when i view devices nor is it in device manager.

I also tried installing realtek from both the Asrock site and Realtek site, and the install goes through successfully, however when I restart it does not show up in Device manager.

The audio jack will not work at all....nor is it in device manager.

BTW, your Speccy file still shows you have Windows 10 installed. Create a new one for Windows 7.
Boot into Setup (Bios) go to Integrated Peripherals. Look for Onboard Audio. If it is disabled. Using your Enter and Arrow keys, Enable it. Save and Exit. When you restart, it should install the new hardware. If you require a driver, download it from the Asrock drivers site for your Mobo: ASRock > Z77 Extreme4-M
