wifi setup

Question

Running windows 10, how do I connect to my wireless WiFi? Previously I used an Ethernet cable, I am moving my computer location and need to go wireless. Have tried all the troubleshooting steps to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi RRAND1

First please check that you have a WiFi card in your PC and that it is functioning correctly . . .

Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

Expand out the Network Adapters section)

What devices do you see listed there and do any of them have an exclamation mark beside them?
