Note: Downgrading to Windows 8/8.1 or 7 is not an option, nor is using an ethernet connection instead of wi-fi. Please don't recommend either, I have my reasons.

I can't get Windows 10 to recognize/show my wireless adapter, no matter what I've done. Already tried disabling all other network adapters first before installing the latest driver from their website, and then rebooting, nothing happened. I've also tried going thru device manager and updating it that way, won't even let me update and it can't find drivers automatically.

Please can someone here help me figure out what the problem is with my wireless adapter and make it work/show up on my computer?

Hmm... Sounds like there are problems with the driver in Windows 10 64-bit machines.

The official specs say they only support "Windows 8.1/8/7/XP":

And it sounds like a lot of people have had problems getting the drivers running on Win10 x64 with similar wireless adapter models:

I'm not sure if this links to a driver you have already tried, but you could try the relevant one here:

Thanks for trying to help me out. Turns out I was trying to install the wrong version this entire time XD.

My wi-fi is now working and this can be considered closed/resolved.
