Desktop Model : HP Slim Desktop PC S01-pF2000i (52Z16AV)
Operating System : Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
I am unable to find wi-fi driver for HP Slim Desktop PC S01-pF2000i (52Z16AV) for windows 8.1 (64 bit) on HP website since my model is originally a windows 11 version.
so, Please help me find a compatible windows 8.1 wi-fi driver for the mentioned model number.
(I have to downgrade my OS version due to poor performance with the higher version of OS.)

Unfortunately, Realtek never developed any W8.1 drivers for the Realtek RTL8822CE Wireless adapter your PC has.
If you want to remain on W8.1 and you can't use an ethernet cable, you will need to purchase a USB Wi-Fi adapter.
You can also install W10, which has a driver for that model Wi-Fi adapter.

Hi:
That probably will not be possible but in order for me to begin to look for a W8.1 driver for your PC's wifi adapter, I will need to know the hardware ID for the device you see listed in the device manager labeled as a Network Controller.
That is the Wi-Fi adapter in need of a driver.
Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device...
