    Linux Mint 19.3

    I had Acer laptop which i gave to My Brother It has Linux Mint 19.3 installed on it. it works fine.
    I get a new laptop Windows 10 HP WIFI it all works great. I have Linux Mint 19.3 on a USB so i can use both. Windows gets WIFI fine but i prefer using Linux Mint more than Windows the trouble is Linux, i cant seem to get Wifi on Linux i have tried many ways that i searched online none have worked. One site suggested get Ethernet, that isnt possible iam in a resthome is all we can get is WIFI. Here are very little i no about this HP the sticker on the computer says AMD Athlon and AMD Radeon its a new HP Windows 10 laptop thats all i no. On the USB i downloaded Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.3 from Pendrive Linux i have already made my settings but with WIFI you cant do much. Would a Panda WIFI adapter from Amazon help? Any ideas will help. Thank,s Chuck

        Found this going through the Mint Forum it may help


        You might also try updating the Kernel to a newer version. You may be on an older one that does not support that Realtec that you have.

        Another thing that you may want to try is disable Fast Boot in the power settings.

            This is solved, i put Linux Mint 19.3 on Virtual Box on Windows 10 desktop. I got step by step instructions by some Tech on You Tube so it all works very good for sure WIFI now.
            Thanks Chuck
