Hi! @videokid14, Thank you for joining the HP Forums!
I understand you need the wireless driver for your laptop running windows 10.
According to the specifications of your laptop. It was shipped with windows 7.
As your laptop model is very old we don't have drivers for windows 10.
However, if you install windows10 generic drivers should get installed.
Go to windows desktop
Hold Windows key + Letter R key.
Run dialog box would open type devmgmt.msc
Device manager window will open.
Expand network adapters.
Right, click the battery icon and select properties.
Go to driver tab and select update driver.
Select browse my computer for driver software.
Select next and in the options select the Realtek driver.
Follow the instructions and click finish.
If the above steps do not work. Please try updating windows 8 wireless driver in compatibility mode.
