OK.. 1. Please check if you are connected to a network go to startcontrol panelnetwork connection wireless network connection - you can see from the icon (wireless network connection) if your wifi card is enabled or disabled or if it is connected to your wireless network at home Lets start from this..

try also to check your router if it is has wireless capability for some router is for wired cable connectivity options. Regarding to internet connectivity it doesn't matter what OS you use. If your laptop has wireless option try to go to program then press network connection. You will find list of available connection in there.
