What to do - after all, the settings of the old network card are no longer accessible, and you can't remove its properties or rename it; Windows for some reason foolishly keeps these settings and just as foolishly won't let you simply change them.
I found one option for myself - delete the old network card from the device list. But here too a setback awaits us - Device Manager simply doesn't see it, even if you click on "View - Show hidden devices".
Solution.
1) Open the command prompt (Start - Run - CMD).

3) Device Manager will open. In it, click on "View" and then "Show hidden devices".
4) Expand the "Network adapters" list and find the greyed-out card - the disabled one.
5) Delete this device.
6) If it won't delete and complains that the device is in use during boot, then boldly change the driver of the non-existent network card to something completely unrelated and unsuitable, and then delete it.
