Go to solution Solved by Prastupok,

so i have this laptop that i got that is a toshiba satelite form 2011 and its has a 2nd gen i3 and i got it for $20 from friend i reinstalled windows correctly but now i dont have drivers for the wireless card or intel integrated graphics i just need to connect to the internet though so i can download drivers but i dont know how

 

Ethernet should still work...

 

Alternatively, use a different computer and download all the drivers for that model onto a flash drive. Then install onto the Satellite.

I assume you have another computer you can use? Assuming your friend doesn't have any old discs for the drivers etc, you need to go to the intel website on another computer, download all your drivers, put then on a USB drive, or a CD (If you know how to do that) and install them.

Downloading programs from CNet is not a good idea, as they will commonly include unwanted, and sometimes dangerous bloatware... The more you know.

well, you're on this forum, so use whatever connection you're using now to google the exact model of your laptop, download the according drivers, copy them to a USB drive and install them.

 

The exact model SHOULD be on the sticker on the bottom.

if the usb ports work you can usb a driver program over.

No... but you use the model to follow my prior instructions.
