My brother gave me a laptop but the internet access was completely removed from the device. It says I'm connected to the internet but there's no search engine installed or anyway to access the internet. I've tried trouble shooting to redownload the search engine but then it says I'm not connected to the internet ... This has been so stressing! I've even tried to do a hard reset it won't let me because it says it's missing file's am I going to have to take this to a computer specialist??

I don't know what are you trying to do. All web browsers software have Search engine. The most popular is Google.  Please click the following link

It has no search engine at all installed on it!! If I try to search for something to redownload one then it says there's no internet when it is connected just no search engine or search bars to do anything with I'm so stuck on this I've never seen anything like this!
