Find a WiFi card driver for my laptop.

Hi, I have my kids great cast off laptop. They forgot all the passwords I did an installation of Win 7 CD.

Now it seems that no driver for the WiFi card. Every way I try to download a driver (I'm looking to download more in the hope of finding one that works) they want to go on the web and find and download rather than just give me the file. Of course the machine cannot connect to the web without the driver. (Catch 22).

I'm stuck. What can I do?

You should get the driver for your wireless network card (and possibly additional drivers) on the web site of the manufacturer of the laptop.

Many of the major manufacturers portable have systems that will allow you to get the right drivers for your specific unit.

Dell, for example, uses the 'number of Service Dell'--> http://www.dell.com/support/contents/us/en/04/article/Product-Support/Self-support-Knowledgebase/locate-service-tag/Notebook

Lenovo has a 'machine type/model' designation or serial number used to identify the machine--> https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name

If the driver download page that you arrive finally has more than one driver for a wireless network adapter, open Device Manager (click Start Orb, type Device Manager, press enter), double-click "Network adapters" section to develop, and you should be able to match the description of your wireless network adapter to one of the reasons mentioned on the download page.

If you can't always understand what you have, double-click the entry for your wireless network adapter, click on the "Détails" tab, select "Hardware ID" from the drop-down list and post back with the specified value (you can right click > copy this value and then paste in your response).  It should look like this:

PCI\VEN_14E4 & DEV_16B1 & SUBSYS_96B11849 & REV_10

Once you have located the correct driver, download it using the computer that you use to ask your question here, copy to a USB flash drive and take the flash drive to the computer laptop problem.
