    Hi,

    Wi-Fi was disabled during setup because either Airplane mode is on, the wireless adapter is turned off, or drivers aren’t installed yet.

     

    I recommend:

    Turn off Airplane mode Settings → Network & Internet → Airplane mode.

    Enable Wi-Fi in Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi.

    In Device Manager, right-click your Wi-Fi adapter → Enable device install drivers if missing.

    If still disabled, check BIOS to ensure the wireless adapter is enabled.

     

    I hope this helps!
