I would very strongly discourage continuing to use that system until the replacement arrives, fyi. As for your WiFi, if you changed the WiFi card model and Windows doesn't have built-in support for it, then yes you'll either need to use an alternate network adapter that Windows natively supports, or else use another PC to download the correct WiFi driver and put it onto a flash drive so you can install it on that PC. But again, you should really stop using that system.
Will do, I'll report back when the replacement is installed. I have not changed the WiFi card model though so that shouldn't be the issue, and I couldn't even see the original network adapter.
