    1. First, to check do your wifi drivers installed read my post here:
      How to check your device drivers

      Second, if your wifi Icon appear (on the left corner) and mentioned no access, normally there are programs that blocked your computer internet connection such as Antivirus, firewall and Ip configuration.
      Try to turn off your antivirus internet setting and turn off your firewall. Check your IP setting and try to set both IP and DNS to automatic.

  2. I am working on an HP 15-f272wm laptop which came with Windows 10 preinstalled. Is there any way to downgrade the OS to Windows 7? I've tried and the network adapters and USB controller were NOT installed. I can't access the Internet or a USB stick. :-( Is this a Windows 10 ONLY PC?

    1. There are 3 types of wireless variant for this model. The easiest way to determine which wireless drivers you need just test each one of the drivers I posted above.
      If you want me to identify it, get the hardware ID for the wireless and post it here (read guide to get hardware ID)

      USB Stick,
      try to use other USB device on each slot and see which slot is working. Normally the USB slot with blue color is USB 3.0 slot and for that you need to install Intel USB 3.0 Controller:
