My Samsung laptop can't be updated to Win10, apparently the wifi chipset
it uses is not "compatible" with it, whatever that means for Microslop

The end result is it will stay on win7Pro-64 for the foreseeable future.

Simple answer for anyone in a similar situation who /does/ want to
upgrade - get a Wi-Fi USB adapter! Amazon prices from $3 upwards.

a $3 wifi adapter would be utter junk.

there's also the inconvenience of having the wifi adapter sticking out
of the laptop all the time and needing to remove it when transporting
the laptop.

it's also quite likely that the win7 wifi drivers will work.
