No wifi or adaptor

[FLANNERS]

so yesterday went to use my laptop and the wifi has stopped working.  the option on the network page for wifi has disappeared. i have checked the device manager and the wfi adaptor has also gone (not even in hidden).  i have tried numerous checks from websites and nothing is bringing back the adaptor. the only way i can connect to the internet is wired which doesn't work as i am currently sat on my stairs typing.

Does anyone know where i can get the upto date drivers/adaptor for windows 10 to get the issue resolved.

i am a novice and this is the first time I have posted - thanks in advance
