Drivers for Surface Go

I just bought a Surface Go from the store, and I wanted to format it and install it using USB. 

Installation went fine, but I'm now currently stuck without the drivers needed. (E.g. Wi-fi). 

I cannot find the drivers anywhere on the net. Can someone please provide me with information as to where I can get them. 

This page is the closest I've come, but it does not provide drivers for the Go model.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023482/surface-download-drivers-and-firmware-for-surface

I simply need a zip file with the drivers included so I can extract and install from device manager. The drivers for the other surface models does not work.

Edit: 

I went to look up device and vendor ID, and found out it was a Qualcomm Atheros device. Went to their driver download page and located the correct one. Downloaded the zip, extracted and installed. Problem solved.

    Thanks, Barb. 

    However as the Surface Go comes in a Windows S mode, msi installations won't work until you're out of the mode. For some reason I do not get that option, but as I got the network working I no longer need to add the rest of the drivers. Windows update took care of the rest :)

    The MSI errored for me and said that version of the Surface Go isn't compatible.

    Please advise, I am trying to get the Volume Rocker to work by installing the "Surface Button" driver.

    The Surface Button Driver is not present in the device manager. I am looking specifically for that driver to re-enable the volume rocker .
