Unable to connect to WiFi after system recovery

[JackLander]

After nearly 4 months after I bought a HP Notebook, I noticed that it is starting to sleep down and I junked it alot, so I performed an HP System Recovery, all was well, Notebook was fast again, but one problem, I am unable to connect to my hidden internet. I put my internet SSID and password but it says "Unable to Connect to this network". I have an HP 15-bs1xx. Any help is appreciated, I only make $150 a year and this laptop is $1000.

First off I was hoping to  find a WiFi adapter.

A ping is a possible way, like above. Bold and underlined is the important bit.

No lost packets.

Other commands you can type, but if you dont give the responses, then...

WinKey + R      type     cmd.exe   pause

Then type....          ipconfig

C:\>ipconfig
