Hi
So we know it is one of the following makes, and had you taken details before removing W10 it would have been so much easier to ID.
So try WinKey +R and type msinfo32 and look for the actual.
Intel Wireless LAN Drivers (W10) |
Realtek Local Area Network Driver (W10) |
Realtek RTL8xxx Series Bluetooth Driver |

Hi, @Ebin8547
If the wifi adapter needs a driver, there will be a device listed in the device manager labeled as a Network Controller.
Please post the hardware ID for the Network Controller device, so I can figure out who makes it (Realtek, Intel, etc).
Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device.

Don't get your hopes up on the wifi adapter working on W7. Most of them do not on these new notebooks, even though there may be drivers for them. Something in the configuration keeps them turned off.
Here is the link to the ethernet driver you need...download, unzip and run the setup application from the W7 driver file at the link below...
