I have a refurbished Dell Optiplex 755 desktop, it doesn't have wifi. Clicked on Device Manager and network Adapter and it doesn't have a wireless adapter. Can a wifi adapter be downloaded? Or do I need to get a wireless USB adapter?
Thanks!
You will need to purchase a usb wifi adapter to use with this computer. You cannot download a wifi adapter.
If still under warranty, click the "Get help now" icon on the right to start a live chat session.

It will only have an Ethernet connection so you will need to purchase a Wireless USB dongle.
