 1. Click the Network icon in the notification area to display the Network fly-out.


2. If Wi-Fi is turned off (the Wi-Fi button is gray, and no networks appear), click Wi-Fi to turn Wi-Fi on. The list of available networks appears.





3. Click the network to which you want to connect your computer. If the list of networks is long, you may need to scroll down to find the network. The connection controls appear.




4. Check the Connect Automatically check box if you want your computer to connect automatically to this network in the future when the network is  available. You’d want to do this for your main wireless networks at home,  work, and other regular locations. 


5. Click Connect. Windows prompts you to enter the network security key.




6. Type the password.


7. Check the Share Network with My Contacts check box if you want Windows to share the network with your contacts via Wi-Fi Sense.


8. Click Next. Windows prompts you to decide whether to find PCs, devices, and content on the network and to connect automatically to devices like printers and TVs.


9. Click Yes or No, as appropriate. Normally, you’d want to click Yes if this is your home network or a work network that you use regularly, and click No if this is  a public network or a network you don’t use regularly.

When Windows connects successfully to the network, it automatically determines  and applies the IP settings needed for your computer to communicate through  the network. The network appears at the top of the Network fly-out and Connected appears underneath it. 


When your computer is connected to the network, check that the connection  is working. If the network has an Internet connection, you can check easily by  opening Microsoft Edge or another web browser and making sure that it can load  web pages. 


If the connection isn’t working, you will need to configure it manually. See the section “Configuring IP Settings Manually,” later in this chapter, for instructions.
