Need to connect to home wireless network

[kaalee75]

We had purchased our PC several years ago and had it connected to a router to access the internet.  I believe the computer has the feature to connect to a wireless network but we never need to use this feature.  We recently moved and now we are in a situation where we are unable to connect the PC to the router.   I am unsure how to do this.  I do not see a wireless lan listed in the device manager.  we are running windows 10.  any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply (I had been so busy with the move.  Finally have a weekend free to try to sort this out).  My wireless network is set up and all is working.  the PC does not recognize nor searching for a wireless network to connect to?  Would I need to install a driver or something?  I really not that techy....  TIA!!!  Shannon

Many thanks for the replies. thought it might be hardware as re newing drivers hadn't worked, just didn't want it to be so.
