    windows logo key + x

    Device manager

    click on Network adapters

    check if a wifi adapter is listed

    The only thing listed is Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controler.

    ok, so now the next question, is there a way to set it up for wifi ??

    i did a double check about your model and it appears that a wifi module is available.

     

    if you can, have a check inside the case, unscrew the 2 back screws and slide the right panel looking from the back.

    if a wifi module is available, you will notice the module under the VGA card, it has 2 wires (black - white)

    the wifi adapter must be in the slot on the right side of this picture:

    the adapter looks like this one:

    no wifi adapter.

     

    in my opinion the easiest and cheaper way is to buy an USB wifi dongle with antenna.
