I have an HP Pavilion 20 All-in-One PC running with Win 8. I recently moved from the place I was living and cannot manage to establish a connection. In my old place the computer connected through ethernet and worked perfectly. In my new house I cannot connect it through an ethernet cable because the PC is upstairs while the modem is downstairs. I wanted to conmect it through Wifi but it seems that the PC has no Wifi option. I know that is not possible because I have seen the same computer with Wifi connections before. I tried going to the adapter settings in Network and Sharing Center but apparently the only option available is through an ethernet cable. What do I have to do?
Networking – My pc can only work on ethernet, don’t know how to activate the wifi

Your Wifi driver might not be properly installed if you press your Wifi button and the card still does not "wake up".
To correct this issue, if the card is not automatically recognised and drivers found, the possible solution is to enter control panel and procceed as follows:
1 - Find the card and do as specified on image
2 - Click the hardware ID, Ctrl + C it, then paste on google to find the apropriate drivers. note: always prefer manufacturer websites for this.
