How to reinstall Intel wifi adaptor in windows 7?
If you upgrade/ downgrade the windows operating system sometimes you may face one usual problem. ie Some of the hardware driver is not activated or deactivated... One such problem is
Intel My Wifi Technology: Disabled.
This is nothing but the wi-fi adaptor is disabled. So we can't use the internet using wi-fi router. But using RJ-45 port we can use the internet.
In this post let us discuss about various solution method for this issue
Let me explain my case:

- Select that option and after few minutes we will back to windows 7 OS.
After downgraded to windows-7, I have faced one problem. My wifi adaptor is not working. But I am able to use internet using ethernet port.
