And if you've already done the above and it still doesn't work you may need to set your wireless connection to connect to your wireless network.

And to find drivers on the internet find your motherboard manufacturer and go to their website. After finding exactly what motherboard type you have you should be able to download the drivers from their website directly. Put all the different drivers on a USB drive and then disconnect that USB drive from your computer, connect it to his laptop and run the execute files to install the drivers directly from the drive.
