I just bought a new laptop, but it's asking a driver for the networkadaptor.

which to download?

Looks like that model series comes with a Mediatek MT7921 Wi-Fi 6 adapter.

If you are getting that message while you are trying to install W11, you have to extract the Wi-Fi driver exe file into its folder so you can browse to the location of the driver.

Here's the link to the latest driver HP currently has for the Wi-Fi adapter:

MediaTek Wireless LAN Driver

Version 3.0.1.1331

sp161835.exe

Using another PC, install the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below to extract the exe file into its driver folder.

7-Zip

After you install 7-Zip, right click on the Wi-Fi driver file you downloaded.

Select 7-Zip from the list of items on the menu.

Have 7-Zip Extract to: and let it extract the file into its folder name.

After that is done, copy the folder to a USB flash drive.

Plug the flash drive into your notebook and when you are at the window where it is asking for a driver, browse to sp161835>src>Drivers>7921>mtkwl6ex.inf and the driver should install.
