So far I'm loving how Mint (Cinnamon) is running. I typically will be in a location with ethernet access available, so it's not the end of the world, but I would really love to get the wifi adapter working as a convenience.
The laptop is an HP 15-bs113dx that I wiped to install Mint, everything worked when it was windows 10 so it should still be functional. The ethernet & bluetooth adapters are installed and work properly.
I've checked several other threads that seemed to be a similar problem, however I have had no luck resolving the issue on my own using that information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am happy to provide any info needed to resolve this. Thanks in advance (hopefully )

Thanks for the response.
The issue was actually unexpectedly resolved when I used a friend's usb wifi adapter. After installing the accompanying drivers the built-in wifi adapter became available to enable/use.
