I got my new SSD hard drive and installed it. I then installed Windows 10 Pro because that is what I have on this one. I am doing this because of the virus I got from somewhere that I simply can't get rid of. So I went to connect to the internet and the one option I have here is WIFI doesn't show in the options. I am stumped and need some good advice on how to set it up and turn it on. I also need to set up my sound where it recognizes my TV as a speakers option. That doesn't show up in that options as well.

Here are the steps to Enable WiFi Network Adapter from BIOS Settings in Windows 10 - Open Settings - Select Update & Security - Select on Recovery - Click on Restart now - Select an option : troubleshoot - Select Advanced options - Select UEFI FIRMWARE Settings - Click on Restart - Now you will enter BIOS Setup - Go to Main - Go to Network Boot - Enable Internal Network Adapter Boot - Save & Exit BigPapaDean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last resort is to use physical connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
