title: How to identify correct Windows driver for generic wifi dongle
body: <p>My intuition tells me someone, somewhere, must have answered this question before. Searching around I have not found it.</p>
  
  <p>I have a freshly installed Windows 7 box (upgraded to Windows 10 to get the machine made eligible, now reinstalling). I have a cheap wifi dongle. I do not know the manufacturer, nor where the driver dvd is. Plugged into the machine running Linux, it just works. It is small, black, and has 802.11n printed on it in white writing, and there are no other identifying markers. (For reference, it looks a bit like one of these: <a href="http://www.dhgate.com/product/1pcs-mini-usb-wifi-adapter-802-11-b-g-n-wi/250459680.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dhgate.com/product/1pcs-mini-usb-wifi-adapter-802-11-b-g-n-wi/250459680.html</a>)</p>
  
  <p>How, in general, in Windows 7, do I identify the correct driver, and how to I obtain the correct driver?</p>
