I will give you exact details as I know them about the pc and router and why I am asking here. Please read carefully before replying with questions.

I gave my daughter, who has never used a pc before, an old HP laptop (win 10 or 11) which I reset to factory default over a year ago. I gave her printed instructions for creating a local user account. Finally after all this time she has gotten internet service. I intend to unplug the router during the process to prevent any attempt by Windows to establish a connection. I wish to provide her with a beginner's level tutorial. The subject of the tutorial is how to establish a wireless connection between the pc and the router.

I will have to travel over 100 miles tomorrow morning to assist her with the process. Therefore, a speedy response would of great benefit to me.

Thank you in advance for helpful replies.

regards,
caffeine

In the taskbar, next to time/date click on the network icon ( three curved bars)
Select wireless network by name
Enter password


There isn't much more beyond that in most cases

Thanks Brink. I used the information in your tutorial to create a custom 2 page tutorial using screenshots from my pc. That way she will see what to look for on her pc.
