My Computer Does Not Have a Wireless Connection Option [Closed]

I have a desktop computer built my PC years ago. When I first got it I installed Windows 10 on it manually. I realized a long time ago that I could not connect to WiFi but ignored it since I was wired.

Now I have to use a wireless connection on my computer and I still to this day do not have the option to connect to WiFi. I also do not have the option to go into WiFi settings in the settings menu... I only have Ethernet connection and adapter for Ethernet. My device manager has around 10 network adapters but none of them are 802.11's I tried downloading a basic Intel wireless driver but it still hasn't showed up on my computer.

I am not really sure what to do at this point does anyone have any suggestions?

You can only connect to a Wireless network if you have a Wireless network card installed.

USB dongle

One option is to buy a USB Wi-Fi dongle. They are the preferred solution if you do not have a free PCI(-e) slot available. Example
