When the Wi-Fi adapter needs a driver, there will be a device listed in the device manager labeled as a Network Controller.

 

Find that device and post the hardware ID for it so I can figure out what Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers it needs.

 

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device:

 

How to Find Drivers for Unknown Devices in the Device Manager

 

Once I have that info, I will post the links to the drivers.

 

You download them to another PC, copy them to a USB flash drive, plug the flash drive in your Victus' USB port and run the drivers from the USB drive or you can copy the driver files to your notebook's Windows desktop and run them from there.
