HP desktop computer not able to find my wireless network

[jenlo]

I have a desktop hp pavilion which I am trying to connect to my home network. However when I go into the settings for wifi my network does not appear. I am not savy at all on what to do and could use some help on this. I have tried youtube videos and I am a real idiot I guess. any help would be greatly appreciated. trying to get the computer up for my daughters summer classes online.
