Sorry to tag onto this thread, but so many here know their stuff. I have a Windows problem as well.

Refurbished HP laptop. Getting an error when I try to log it onto the net.

Specifically: “Problem w/ wireless adapter or access point” and I’ve watched videos.

It’s apparently a common problem w/ refurbed win10.

Can’t fix it.

Thanks for any help. Again, sorry to ‘borrow’ the thread, but appreciate any assistance.

Does pc have Ethernet port? If so try using cable directly to internet router.

Try Windows 7. No, that’s not sarcasm. 10 is for losers. I’ll wait for 11 or 12 or maybe 13. I’m too stupid to learn Linux. I tried 10 on 3 different computers. Went back to 7. No problemo.

Could be a driver or bios problem. First make sure bios is current then try to see if there is a newer driver. Back up any important data first. :(
