Gigabyte. Go to http://www.gigabyte.us/Support , find your motherboard model, download & install the appropriate drivers.
Also, are you sure the Gigabyte board you have includes Wifi? if you're running Windows 10, you should at least have basic Wifi functionality with the built-in driver. If you are, and you're not able to connect via Wifi, there's definitely potential that it doesn't have Wifi onboard.

Intel has wifi drivers for their own chipsets - but wifi chips can be from a variety of vendors* (with Broadcom and Atheros/Qualcomm being some of the more common desktop options). A "driver" is unique to the chipset.
You can find a working driver manually from Broadcom etc website, provided you know the chipset being used.
If Wifi is present onboard, Gigabyte will provide it on their website - removing the need for you to decipher what chipset is being used.
*Ralink, MediaTek, Samsung etc all have their own chipset offerings, utilized in various devices.

It won't work and maybe won't even install, you need to know which WiFi card you have or the chipset, your cpu is Intel, your motherboard is gigabyte, who makes the WiFi card?
The make and model should be on the card itself, or on the main chip on the card, that's the chipset.

The details will be on the WiFi card, either on a sticker on it or on the big main chip on the card, you'll have to remove it to read it, I take it, it's a pci WiFi card.

You Can't just get WiFi by installing drivers, you need a card to go along with them, and for that you will need to buy one, what a WOT!

Same thing, you cant just run bluetooth from drivers without the hardware, ie a card, generally, bluwtooth and wifi come on the same card now-a-days, so 1 card does both.
