Alienware Wifi card.. Disabled?

[joechancey11]

I don't know if this thread best suits windows 10 or windows 7 but it's occurring in windows 7 so i hope someone can help me.

Here's what happened.

I attempted to install windows 10, i black screened, tried everything people in the windows 10 fourms told me to do to fix the black screen and nothing worked. So i was able to revert back to windows 7 thankfully.

Sadly.. For some reason i wasn't getting any wifi signal from my router. figured it was my router so i reset it. Nope. after a bunch of trouble shooting and driver uninstalling and reinstalling and booting in safe mode and reinstalling my network adapter drivers, i got no result.

Things iv tried:
•Booting in safe mode and going to my device and Driver manager and uninstalling and reinstalling my network drivers.
•Uninstalling and reinstalling my network drivers & trying to find my drivers online.
•Windows Troubleshooting my wifi for any fixes -Resulted in windows finding an error with my wifi card but windows couldn't fix it.

Windows has been telling my that my Wifi card is "disabled" and if i go into my command prompt and type "ipconfig/all" i get a bunch of 'Media Disconnected' texts under wifi signals.

here are some screenshots.

Can anyone help? I'v done everything from safe mode all the way to troubleshooting. I think i mught have to take my PC in and get it checked out and have them test my wifi card. I never "disabled" it but i think windows 10 might have tweaked it?

Does it show in Device Manager? If not, there may be a Fn key combo to enable/disable the wireless.
