Compton he has stated that his NIC works in Linux (you must have missed that post). Sounds like that roll back to Windows 7 really goofed your NIC.
Is this a laptop or a desktop? Can you connect wireless?
Edit: I'm also wondering if the correct driver is being installed. Are you trying to install the latest network driver from the manufacturers website? In device manager can you post up the hardware ID of the NIC?
Right-click that Realtek Network Adapter entry in the device manager, and select "properties." Now click Roll Back Driver. Any luck? if not try next thing.

OK Right-click that Realtek Network Adapter entry in the device manager, and select "uninstall." Click OK
Can you please try downloading driver from here sometimes motherboard sites are old and outdated.
Also, refer the below links and check if it helps.
so here what i have done so far since uninstalling win 10
roll back driver
got new driver from wesite
enable/disable netwok adaptor/controler
tried wireless belkin usb card/dongle
tried a different router (ya never know)
changed all ethernet leads
tried sfc /scannnow to fix

any way thnx to you all
if you still did not format try this
go to the device manger again and uninstall all the network drivers, it'll ask you if you want to delete everything just click yes.
restart the computer now windows should install the new drivers.
