I have Windows 10 on a new HP laptop. I put Linux Mint on a USB to try only, i get Linux just fine but i cant get WIFI to work i have tried many different things from search, nothing works. Only info i have ( AMD Radeon Graphics )
Thank,s Chuck
 
historically I used to give various Linux distros a run every year or so.
they all had printer and wireless hardware setup issues - enough that I gave up for ages on Linux.
a couple of years ago I tried ElementryOS and loved it, it got all the hardware drivers right from the get-go.
can't vouche for Mint but I would have thought from that last distro I tried that Linux finally got their shite together - but maybe not so.

as I had to do previously, search the crap out of Google for the latest wifi adapter driver for your model (if there is one).
back in my early Linux days I had to use a USB wifi adapter or just go ethernet to get over that hurdle.

Sorry but have to ask, if the wifi works in Windows 10 but not Linux why post on the Windows 10 forum.
 
Hi WIFI works all the time on Windows 10. This is a new computer, i usually use Linux Mint since i cant get Linux WIFI on a USB to try i stay on Windows now.
Thank,s Chuck
 
If your wifi works in Windows 10 but not Linux this thread is on the wrong forum.

Thread moved to appropriate OS sub forum.
