I check the spec and it has a wifi chip but the os can’t see it.

I had a wifi toggle on windows 11 when I got the PC and also when I used a mint USB boot. Driver manager sees nothing to update or install.

The mint community page has failed to post my question a few times so now I’m here.

    If you’re dual booting with Windows it can sometimes lock the Wi-Fi adapter and it won’t show up in Linux. Boot into Windows, disconnect from Wi-Fi then shut the PC down instead of restarting then reboot and see if that fixes it.
