did u go into isp modem and reconfigure, maybe new addy assigned to laptop?
Do you have correct lan driver installed for your lappy with w10?
Have you configured lappy for modem?

W10 being new might not have the correct working drivers for your hardware?

Different Wifi transceivers will need different drivers.  It may be as simple as there not being a driver for the particular Wifi chip in that computer for Windows 10.
