my opera, chrome, and firefox do not open any other page.

If you are able to connect to youtube that means that you had already connected to your router wirelessly correct? Could you show pictures of your configuration as well as what appears when you connect the network icon on the right corner

You'll have to downgrade to Windows 8 in order to solve the problem. Otherwise, I don't know what to say. Downgrading back to Windows 8 will definitely fix things since your laptop & drivers were built for Windows 8.

Go to the wireless setting like in screenshot. Select optian an IP Addresss Automataclly and the same for DNS. Press the Windows key on your keyboard and the letter R ant the same time, type cmd and click OK. When the black commamnd prompt box pops up type in ipconfig /flushdns then hit Enter then type ipconfig /release and hit Enter then type ipconfig /renew and hit Enter. When you type the command there is a space between ipconfig and the / like this ipconfig"spacebar"/flushdns. Restart your laptop.
If that does not work hardwire your computer with an ethernet cable to your modem or wireless gateway. Go to your Device Manager, find the "Network Adapter" tab and select the little TRIANGLE tab to the left. Select your Wireless Adapter from the list Right click and select UNINSTALL. Once it is gone from the list click on the Network Adapter words in the list and it should highlight it in Blue. Now RIGHT CLICK on Network Adapters and select Scan For Hardware Changes, let it reinstall itself. Select your wireless network and enter your password.
