How to fix No WiFi available after upgrading to Windows 10 [Tip]

Windows 10While many people cannot wait to update to a fresh operating system, others are reluctant to try knowing well that they are bound to come across a few problems that give the headaches along the way. The usual headaches have to do with backing up data and buying additional products so they can lead the same lives they were living on the older Windows version, like buying Microsoft office again, for instance.

If you aren’t tech-savvy at all, the last problem you might want to find after updating to Windows 10 is having no WiFi on the computer. It’s often one of the most dreaded situations because we rely on having internet to solve problems; without WiFi we cannot surf the web for solutions unless we have a mobile phone or tablet with some additional data to save us. If you are reading this post, that probably means you have found some extra data somewhere along the line. You’ll still need to start-up the PC running Windows 10 with the issue to solve this problem. Use the computer without the WiFi until the problem is solved.
