When all else fails, you can force Windows to accept a driver from a similar device. Extract:
Step 1: Download the latest driver package from a generic source (e.g., Realtek 8852AE driver from Lenovo's support site).
Step 2: Extract the files.
Step 3: Open Device Manager > Right-click the unknown device > Properties > Details tab > Hardware Ids. Copy the value (e.g., PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8852&SUBSYS_...).
Step 4: Open the extracted folder and find the .inf file (e.g., netrtwlanu.inf). Right-click > Install.
Step 5: If that fails, open the .inf in Notepad. Manually match your Hardware ID to one listed inside. Add it if missing (advanced). Install:
