    go to start > settings > control panel > system & maintenance > device manager > right click on wireless network adapter and properties and click driver and you will see an option to update the driver in that window.

    *you might need to have as admin powers though*

    You can also manually update drivers, but first try this and see if it works :)

    Or after you did the above procedure and it still doesn't work you can uninstall the wireless card and reboot. Windows will automatically install the correct driver
