Hi:

 

It is best if you want answers to your questions to post the full model number or product number of your PC.

 

Find Your HP Desktop Model Name, Product Number, or Serial Number | HP Computers | @HPSupport - YouT...

 

The Wi-Fi adapter is a removable card and is not part of the motherboard.

 

The Wi-Fi adapter should be labeled in the device manager as a Network Controller when the driver is missing.

 

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device, so I can figure out what driver it needs.

If you can connect via ethernet cable, below is the link to the W7 ethernet driver you need for the HP Java-U motherboard:
