Why dont my laptop connect to the internet after i changed the hard drive
which drive was changed NOT TOLD mine has 3 +1 external.
changed the boot drive, not told.
the new hdd is blank so there is no OS on any hdd. new.
NO PC told at all, model (of vast) 4 decades back to first compaq.
no OS told xp to w11. not one clue as to the OS that is there now.
is the OS same as day 1 new PC, not told.
how the OS got to there no told
cloned it>
loaded OS (secret) to new boot drive? ?
then found the wifi drivers are missing or wrong
no class of internet told (how connected via what and what ISP)
my guess is lost all wifi settings
and wrong or missing wifi driver (try using ethernet cable)
lost only the your private wifi credentials?
if you can ping 1.1.1.1
internet is not dead. only DNS is dead or set wrong.
use Ethernet first. to see, omg internet is not dead
the fix wifi or 3G-wwlan or what ever service you have and not told
hints, the OS has wifi drivers and must be good in device manager or wifi will be dead.
no OS told nor if upgraded OS nor what PC this is.
some laptops had 3 choices wifi card new (only HP;'s work)
and the driver must match only 1 of the 3. or fails hard it will,
hp.com
go to your support page, and get the driver that matches you card and your OS not told.
