Connect your laptop via an ethernet connection or USB tethering. Then install the driver for your adapter through the Driver Manager.I'm using Cinnamon. Driver Manager indicated I needed to download a particular Realtec Wireless adapter. Since I can't access internet without it, I can't download it. I'm using a brand new HP laptop which worked fine under Windows 10, but lost the connection when I installed Linux. Right now I'm using my old Dell lap top with Windows 10: Should I look for the required adapter on this PC and USB it to the new one?
If you could share what output or errors you got when you tried installing the drivers through the driver manager or share a screenshot of what you see. That we could try and help solve your problem, if you want to install Windows you will have to download the Windows iso and copy that iso to a usb drive so that you can boot from it and install Windows again.Established the ethernet connection, but download failed on several attempts.
The errors relate to "No WiFi connection" despite using ethernet connection. I have the Windows recovery flash drive. I just can't find where I can boot from it.If you could share what output or errors you got when you tried installing the drivers through the driver manager or share a screenshot of what you see.

If you didn't have a wifi connection but had a LAN connection since you plugged in the ethernet cable that shouldn't have been a problem. Since it was a problem you could have tried disabling your wifi network connection in networkmanager, and then tried again. If you want to boot from your flash drive, have to go into the bios/uefi and select that flash drive as your primary boot device. Some systems have a shortcut key that you can use to select which device you want to boot from, it's usually one of the F keys. In most cases F8, F9 or F10, otherwise you can get into the bios/uefi by using either the del, F2 or F12 key.Established the ethernet connection, but download failed on several attempts.
