Hi,

I cannot connect my desktop to my wireless netwerk.

Never used te wireless connection before. Always worked on a lan cable.

It doesn't show any wireless connection at all.

ipconfig /all

It shows the wireless

Integrated Bluetooth 4.0 and Wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n featuring 2.4 GHz 1x1 technology

• Interface: M.2
• Transmission standards: 802.11 b/g/n
• Single band: 2.4 GHz

The ipconfig/all command will only give info if the PC is connected, I believe.  Look at the lower right of the desktop, near the clock. If Windows can "see" the WiFi networks available  ( a small monitor looking icon) right click on that and it should then show the networks available.  Then if you recognize your network, you need to sign in with the password, if a secure connection is setup.  Otherwise no password for an unsecured network.  It should look like this
