You may need to check your NIC on another computer (if possible) or check its functionality at the service center (it may be broken). Then check that your network card is physically connected to your computer/laptop and is enabled in BIOS/UEFI settings.

Thus, you can identify your NIC, download, and install its driver. For example, PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_43A0 is Broadcom wireless network adapter. Find the VID and PID of the unknown device (Properties -> Details -> Hardware IDs). If Windows could not detect a device, you need to identify it manually.
