    is it safe for me to manually install wifi drivers even though i dont know if its compatible

I am currently using ethernet cables to browse and play game, first when i turned my pc on there was no option for wi-fi wireless only airplane mode. i just realised that i needed to install my wifi drivers, firstly i tried to download drivers automatically but windows didnt find anything, so i then went to the asus website, found the latest driver and tried to apply but it gave me a warrning saying that windows cant confirm the compatibility of the driver.

    I am trying to install the Edimax EW-7811UTC usb wifi adapter which is said to be compatible for Windows 10 and

    Hello,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you to download the drivers the manufacturer website and install it in Windows 8.1 compatibility mode. Follow the steps provided below to install the drivers in compatibility mode:

    • Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.
    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select Windows 8.1 operating system from the drop down.
    • Click on ‘Apply’ and click ‘OK’ and run the file to install it.
    And for compatibility issues, I would suggest you to share your feedback in the Windows Feedback.


    • Type Windows feedback in the search bar

    • Press enter and follow the onscreen instruction.
    Hope this will fix the issue, if not let us know with the updated status and we will be happy to assist you further.

    Hi,

    I suggest you to install the drivers in
    compatibility mode.

    Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.



    Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.


    • Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.

    • Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
      ‘properties’.

    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
      ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.


    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have any further related query.


    Thank you.
