I asked for the ProdID. Kindly provide that.
You are more likely to have an HP Pavilion dv7-1270us.
dv1270us does not exist as far as I can discover.
Here are the chipset drivers for your notebook's Intel PM45 chipset

Before you upgrade to Windows 10, make sure that you invoke the Device Manager and identify the wifi adapter with brand and model.
Windows 10 is likely to install the NIC driver on its own, so you should have connectivity by use of a CAT5 cable connected to a router.

Would you mind looking at the bottom of the notebook in the tiny letters for the ProdID?
You have only posted a partial product name. HP Pavilion XX-1270us, where XX is the missing digits of the product name. It could also be in the format of XXX if the notebook is an older DV series notebook.
