Wireless adapter drivers not installing

[BillyBLEP]

Hi, 

I've had to replace the hard drive in my laptop, and have tried to install the appropriate wireless adapter drivers from the  following link as the laptop currently has no wifi:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-15-p100-notebook-pc-series/7234915/mode...

neither of the 2 wireless drivers will install, getting as far as the install screen and then simply stops and disappears. Currently have no way of connecting the laptop to the internet other than wireless so can't just do a windows update or anything. I've also tried to contact hp but can't get contact options as apparently my serial number isn't valid. I'm not sure what to try next...

Thanks for any help I'm at a bit of a loss

So if we knew the SKU and the adapter type.........

Hello, 

I had typed the SKU but for some reason it didn't make it into the final message. There was also an issue where the adapter was not showing in the device manager so couldn't get any information for it. 

Anyway, I tried hotspotting through the usb connection from my phone, which didn't work, but somehow did trigger an adapter reset which somehow got the wifi going again, even though i'd already reset all the adapters??? I don't know, probably not a driver problem then. 

Thanks for the help
