Dual booting with Windows 10. I've only installed Ubuntu like last week. So basically the issue started with Ubuntu not having wireless internet. I found the issue described in this topic [No Wifi in Qualcom Atheros - Ubuntu 16.04 - Acer Aspire E 15](https://askubuntu.com/questions/763080/no-wifi-in-qualcom-atheros-ubuntu-16-04-acer-aspire-e-15)

I could follow all the commands up until:

```
sudo mv firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1  firmware-5.bin

```

Since it couldn't find the file/directory. I looked further. I found this topic with a similar problem <https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2308578>

I executed these commands

```
sudo rm -r /lib/firmware/ath10k
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/ /lib/firmware/ath10k/
sudo mv /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin_SW_RM.1.1.1-00157-QCARMSWPZ-1 /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin

```

Oh now I have all the files in that git repository. Wireless still didn't work but I rebooted and went on my Windows. 

**PROBLEM:**

And I see now that after doing sudo rm and deleting my initial configuration I somehow messed up my wireless on the Windows side. Now I can't go wireless and it doesn't even detect my wireless adapter in the device manager, even when I scan. I tried re-installing the wireless adapter but nothing changes. Now I'm stuck without wireless.

Maybe that this information helps
