That model lists a possible two choices for networking:
Must select one of the following options:
•Integrated Bluetooth 4.0 and Wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n featuring Single-band (2.4 Ghz) 1 x 1 technology
•Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac featuring Dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz) 2 x 2 MIMO technology and integrated Bluetooth 4.0
Thanks Calvin, didn't see that when I read the specs, must have been a different specs page to the one you looked at (or I didn't look at the options). I stand corrected - - :/
JeroX - - ignore my previous posts.
If you are sure your desktop PC spec includes the optional WiFi adapter, I don't know what's going on with it.
However, I do know that built-in WiFi adapters on HP computers are notorious for packing up and disappearing from Device Manager- - HP have had that problem for years - - poor quality control at the factory.
