    Most desktop computers in the past did not come with wifi so yes, you are correct - no hardware for wifi. Yours was released in 2012 and came with Windows 7.

    I agree your computer does not have it - but it is easy and inexpensive to add. There are USB adapters or PCIe card adapters.

    I prefer those with external, movable antennas.

    Then see post 3 -Digeratti suggested the usb type, or, PCIE CARD- USB type is simpler- just plug in- I found they worked well when I had touse one, and very cheap topurchase.
