Help/Support [SOLVED]Laptop not recognizing wifi

[Juku 5k iPhone SE 11.3.1]

I know this is not really related to IOS. But for some reason my laptop does not let me connect to wifi. It says, "A network cable is unplugged." I'm not sure if its because my windows didnt come with the right drivers, but I don't know why I keep getting this error. Have any of you ever experienced something like this? And the wifi button on the laptop is unresponsive.

 

Thanks.

Is this a new laptop?

No its pretty old. Its weird though because Linux for example recognizes the drivers and stuff, but for some reason I installed Windows Xp and nothing is like recognized. But I want IDA, so linux isnt an option. Updated January 25, 2017 by Gaius

Idk then. I know how to fix it in a new laptop/pc but not otherwise

Is your wifi spitting out 2.4 or 5.0?

 

Could be your wireless card

Does it work when you use an ethernet cable to connect directly?
