2020-04-02T21:11:43+00:00 Go to your laptop/computer manufacturer's website and find and reinstall the Windows Drivers for your Laptop/computer Model Number for your operating system.
Use the computer you are on to get here to download/save the Network Adaptors/Wi-fi Drivers for it first > copy them to flash drive > transfer and install them on the Laptop.

You may or may not still get 10 for free, but you first have to see if 10 is compatible with your device.
The free upgrade to Windows 10 offer from Microsoft expired on the 29th July, 2016.
You will have to contact MS support and they may be able to assist you with a free upgrade to 10..

First thing to do is to make sure that you have the correct system requirements and that your Computer Manufacturer supplies the correct Drivers for 10 for your Model Number.
"Windows 10 System Requirements"
https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/3884/windows-10-system-requirements
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/windows-10-specifications#sysreqs
If you read those Microsoft's system requirements for 10, you will find that if you only go on them you will be sadly disappointed in performance.
You should at least double what they say.

If you are go the upgrade path to 10 at least make a system image backup for two reasons.
- Some people report they don't get the free upgrade and want to reinstall 7.
- If you don't do the system checks and 10 is incompatible with your device and it becomes inoperable.
