Hello everyone,
I recently rebooted my computer due to the problems caused by Windows 10, so I went back to Windows 7 and I reinstalled my Wi-Fi key driver using my Ethernet cable.
However, yesterday after enabling automatic updates for Windows Update (I don’t know if there’s a connection, but it hasn’t been working since I did this), my Wi-Fi key stopped working, and when I switched to Ethernet to re-download the driver, the computer couldn't automatically find the driver. The problem is that I don’t know the exact model of my Wi-Fi key to install the driver manually.
Is there anyone who can guide me through this process so that I can reinstall the driver? Thank you.

Hello,
Go to Start
In the search bar
Type --> devmgmt.msc and OK.
Give the hardware identification number of the device
Right-click on the device
Properties
Details tab
Select the hardware identification number.
It's a number that should look like this for example:
--> PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1026&SUBSYS.......
--> USB\....
If needed, see --> here
Is Windows 7 32 or 64 bits?

I finally found the solution and I found a driver that works, so that's sorted, but I realized that the problem came from elsewhere,
I am on 64-bit and if the driver was not available it’s simply because Windows Update is not working, unfortunately I can't find a solution to get it to work.
