New to the Forums and new to Linux

Post by Extreme Supreme »

Hi everyone. Like the title states I'm new to the forums here and new to Linux also.
I've always been a Windows guy, up to Windows 7. Never liked 8 and above.
My laptop crashedand had problems trying to swap the harddrive with a newer laptop.
Was gied a 10 year old desktop pc. I've done a couple upgrades to the desktop.
Here is the motherboard specs,RAM memory I just added, and a WIFI/Bluetooth PCI card

I will definitly be asking Q's becauce I've never ad much experience using the Command Terml.
My first Q will be how to run the set up for the driver CD for the WIFI/Bluetooth CD. TIA
Larry

mostly you will not need to use special drivers for pci-e card comm adapters.
Try it booted to the live desktop.

Thank you
I restarted the PC and everything worked. Took a couple tries to get the Bluetooth to connect with the phone.
I am only able to transfer files from the PC to the phone. May be an App for the opposite transfer.
