The network controller device is the Realtek Wi-Fi adapter in need of a driver.
Below are the links to the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers HP has for your notebook:

Dear Paul_Tikkanen, Thank you very much!
Meanwhile, I solved the problem.
-----------------------------------------------
Here is the description:
Well, I had wanted to install genuine Win 10 Education.
I had no problem about it.
I tried successfully with Win 10 Education and/or Win 10 Enterprise, doesn't matter which one, because Network adapter was just like invisible and Network controller couldn't get any driver at any of mentioned OS Win 10.
I swear I tried many, many things before I turned here!
Of course, I had searched for HP support online too.
But, although different Wins 10 is possbile to be installed on this kind of laptop HP 15-fd0100nm., there is NO support for Win 10 on HP site, but for Win 11 ONLY.
Network drivers from HP support site for Win 10 didn't work on laptop.
Only for Win 11 the support is offered.
So I came up to an idea to just install Win 11.
After that ALL the problems were solved: all drivers worked and all updates worked.
-----------------------------------------------
So, meanwhile expecting someone to help me, I installed Win 11.
After that I didn't have to try your option dear Paul, because I was not in a need any more.
I woder why is it possible to be installed Win 10 where there is NO offciial HP support?
Thank you once again, dear Paul_Tikkanen!
Everything works!
🙂

You're very welcome.
HP only supports some business class notebooks for W10 now that W11 is mainstream.
The W11 drivers provided on your notebook's support page also work for W10 as well as the ones I posted for you.
In any event, glad your notebook is working fine.
Cheers,
Paul
