Hello, i am having issues with my network driver missing. I had to do a fresh install of windows 11 on my laptop. When i was going through the set up process it was not showing i had the ability to go on to the Internet. I was able to get past that using the command prompts and set up my computer. Now i am seeing that the computers network adapter is now missing from the computer. I saw that you can down load a new one from the HP site but was not sure which one i needed. I was hoping you can point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

Hi:
If 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 and I will post the links to the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers your notebook needs.
Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device:
