Product: HP Pavilion Slimline s5510y De
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I just purchased a used Pavilion Slimline S5510Y Desktop; does not have a wireless network adapter installed.   Is there somewhere I can download the adapter?

Here is the SUPPORT PAGE for that desktop.  It does not have a wireless adapter.  It does have a wired aka ethernet adapter installed.  The wireless adapter is a piece of hardware and needs to be purchased, not downloaded.  There are choices in which type would work best for you - USB or PCI x 1.  It might depend on the type of network you wish to use.  The newer highspeed options may require a matching adapter to the network router spec in order to achieve the faster AC speeds.  If you are looking at the "n" speeds then most can do that.  Also be aware of the 2.4 and 5GHz bands for newer routers.  If this all sounds "Greek", then perhaps enlist the aid of a friend.
