I will explain best i can. I have Windows 10 main OS and WiFi works fine on it. I have Linux Mint on a USB to try out but WIFI will not work in Linux Mint i cant do updates or anything without WIFI. I looked Windows is RTL8821ce-dkms WIFI driver it appears to me this driver isnt installed in Linux Mint. Where can i download this driver to a USB and maybe put it on Linux. If there is an easier way to do this it will help me. I can use the terminal if needed. Iam lost on what to do. I have tried many things i got online, none have worked. Thank,s Chuck
 

Have you tried using the link that was provided in your thread here in post # 4
 
That was me i have Linux Mint on virtual box now and it works fine, but i preffer Linux Mint on my USB, virtual box is ok but its not like Linux on a USB theres so much more you can do. I have fought with this WIFI problem on Linux iam about to stick with Linux on virtual box and my main os Windows. Thank,s Chuck
 
Here,s what i got so far, i have RTL8821ce in Linux Mint download folder, i extracted it. I have no clue what to do next though.

I run the commands i got for Linux i new since i didnt have WIFI on Linux i figured i would just load them to a USB then give you what the Linux commands to you off my Windows laptop well they didnt work at all. You will have to go from my Windows screenshots. I hope these screenshots will help. Thanks Chuck
 
The commands above are for Linux only. They won't work in Windows.

Are you able to take screenshots inside of Linux and copy them over to USB? Or just copy the output into a txt file and copy it over to USB?
 
Heres what i did i went in Linux on my USB i then entered the commands in the terminal you gave me. I then took screenshots and put them on a USB. It took 3 screenshots to get it all. Thanks Chuck
