Hello,

I upgraded to Windows 10 on my HP Envy x2 a few weeks ago.
After the computer restarted, all the features of the laptop were "out" (keyboard, mouse, and even the screen touch, Bluetooth ... and thus the Wi-Fi).

Facing repeated error messages, I reinstalled a version of Windows 10 downloaded from the Microsoft website. I then reinstalled all the drivers from the HP site, which are working... Except for one. Indeed, I cannot install the one for Wi-Fi, I get an error message (like "SETUP.exe has stopped working" as soon as I open a command prompt).

I noticed there are quite a few problems with Wi-Fi. I hope a kind soul (or souls) will be able to help me.

I am just starting in tinkering, so if I need to provide information, please give me instructions, I don’t know much.

Thank you all.

Daniel

    Hello,

    Press Windows + R
    Type --> devmgmt.msc and OK.

    Give the hardware ID of the wifi card
    Right-click on the device
    Properties
    Details tab
    Select the hardware ID.
    It should look like this as an example:
    --> PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1026&SUBSYS.......
    If necessary, check --> here

    Is Windows 10 32 or 64 bits?
