Hey guys

 

 I'm thinking about a wireless wifi adapter for my new pc, but I don't have a CD Rom drive on my PC case.  I've looked it up on line, and I can't really find a good answer for how to get the the drivers for it without the CD.  Does anyone have an idea how I can do it?

Using the manufacturer's website, assuming you either have a temporary wired connection or another with the internet connected device.

 

Also, sometimes Windows can search for its built in drivers for an appropriate one for the wireless adapter.

You'll probably have to transfer the drivers by downloading else where and transferring through usb pen drive, or you could try to find an ethernet and connect with that while the drivers getting loaded. You can actually download them through your phone and connect ur phone and browse it if you don't have a pen/flash drive
