I cannot find out how to connect the WiFi, on my pc. It runs windows 7 and the taskbar is at the top any help will be greatly appreciated. And I’m sorry if my explanation is vague; that is simply all I know.
Solved! Go to Solution.

According to the parts list for your PC, it does not come with built in Wi-Fi networking, so you can't connect to Wi-Fi unless you install a Wi-Fi adapter.
The easiest thing to do for that would be to purchase a USB Wi-Fi adapter that works on W7.
You can change the taskbar location by following the guidance at the link below:

You're very welcome.
I use this model on my HP desktop PC that didn't come with Wi-Fi.
Works great. It even has Bluetooth.
When you plug it in to the USB port, a window should open with a folder to install the drivers.

Anytime.
Glad to have been of assistance.
Yes, I have a few USB Wi-Fi adapters laying around collecting dust.
They were old and I decided to upgrade.
I seem to recall that I got my first USB Wi-Fi adapter from a friend for free.
