I think it was bought in 2012. It was running Win 7 and worked properly but I upgraded to Win10 in July and since then (and despite a complete re-install) there is no wireless functionality at all (no wireless icon, etc).

I downloaded Piriform Speccy to identify my laptop's components in case this helps:
