belkin wireless g usb network adapter driver windows 8.1

There are a lot of Wifi adapters from vendors that support them and have provided Win10 drivers. If the vendor of your device has not provided a driver by now it's not Microsoft's fault. Maybe Microsoft didn't provide 3rd party vendors with information about Win10 in a timely fashion, or maybe the vendors just assumed that their old drivers would work.

Win10 seemed to catch a lot of vendors off guard. The adapter worked fine with win 8.1 but win 10 removed the driver and I cannot re install it for the older adapter I have, therefore it is a windows/Microsoft problemNo, it means that the manufacturer of your adapter didn't write a Win10 driver for the device (or that you haven't found the Win10 adapter that they did write.) Microsoft writes (or more probably, distributes) some drivers, but for most devices it is the manufacturer's responsibility. The desktop that has the problem doesn't have built in wifi, otherwise why would I need a USB adapter. If they don't, good possibility there will be an issue. Otherwise I would suggest a search on all the adaptor manufacturers (Asus, etc) to see if their model actually has a Windows 10 driver to download. You could try this D Link one but make sure your store has a return policy just in case. Then they installed and I didn't have disconnect issues after that (well, most of the time).

To get the D link drivers showing up (and working) in Windows 10 I had to extract the drivers and point to them in device manager. Windows 10 recognized it as the realtek (chip) drivers. However, even with that there were issues. You have to make sure you have the revision C model (not A). The D Link DWA-182 firmware C worked for me in Windows 10. Solved USB Wi-Fi adapter not showing on tray - Windows 10 Forums You can check this thread when I had a similar problem (post 15). I currently have a desktop MB that has wifi on the chip and this solved my USB wifi problems once and for all. But I have my doubts for success from posts like this: You could try unzipping the drivers and from device manager selecting 'have disk' and pointing to the inf file. Ah yes, the famous Windows 10 USB WIFI adaptor driver issue.
