Turn wifi on windows 7




















Are you sure that your PC 's WiF i is currently turned on? If not, kindly turn on your WiFi. If your P C 's WiFi is already turned on, it is possible that your current network driver is out-dated. To troubleshoot this, update your WiFi and network driver by following the steps on this link. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Alan is correct.

The most likely cause is that your system has WiFi turned off. It is called "airplane mode. Most likely on a side. Some of them are pretty hard to see. I am reluctant to buy a usb wifi, despite it is cheap and quick solution, but I am engry that I have paid for something that should work.

Also, that I paid twice, first for other os that was installed on the machine, second. I am sad that HP is installing w10 and selling them to people usually not technical on the computers that are not possible to work efficiently with this system.

I will try to investigate this further. I should be a way progrmically turn wifi on. I don't need even this funny "plane mode" button working. There has got to be a windows registry setting that controls the power to the wifi adapter, and on W7, the default setting must be off instead of on.

You didn't let me know if the graphics drivers I posted worked for your notebook if it has a Pentium or Celeron processor. If it has a 7th generation Intel core processor, as some of the G6's do, then some clever guy found a way to modify a W10 graphics driver to work on Weven though Microsoft and Intel doesn't support any PC with the Kaby Lake chipset for anything but W And yes, if you can figure out a way to turn on the wifi adapter on W7, we would love to know what the solution is.

So I downloaded both drivers and attempted to extract the various files within so I could compare. The hope was I could pinpoint the differences and then maybe resolve the issue. And what happened? The Win7 driver extracted ok and I saved the various files from that extraction for later comparison. But the Win10 driver would not extract, no matter which programme I used to try this.

And maybe, just maybe, the W7 driver also in that folder will actually get the wifi adapter to work without the proset software. You don't need the proset bloatware anyway if you let Windows manage your wireless network connection. Intel, like so many others now, does not fully clean up after itself. However, the comparison of Win7 and Win8. Very close to each other, both in actual files and file sizes.

The differences are the key, of course. I'm too pushed for time right now but I'll revert when I am able. We may have something, maybe not. Make a system image first, and then you can easily revert to it if the experiment with the IT drivers is not successful. What I would like at the moment - to avoid wasting my time - is assurance that W8. I'm only relying on an earlier comment that the Airplane thingie was only implemented from W8 up.

If you can assure me that the AC works ok in W8. The INF files in the Win8. Didn't find what you were looking for? Ask the community. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Showing results for.
