IntelWi-Fi 6E AX210 note showing in Device Manager
The Intel Wifi AX210 PCI adapter has Bluetooth and WIFI, after i updated my desktop and transfarred the card to my new desktop Optiplex 7090 the WIFI driver deosn't show in the device manager only the bluetooth driver is showing and the bluetooth works fine, i have updated all drivers.
I alread used the AX210 on a older dektop Optiplex 9010 for 1.5 years and it works fine for both bluetooth and wifi, as the pc got 8 years old i upgraded it and now on the new dell optiplex 7090 only bluetooth works not the wifi, it doesnt even show in the device manager. I added it manually and tried to install the drivers it says latest drivers already installed.

9010 and 7090 are vastly different model, 2012 vs 2020. the dev mgr screenshot if from 7090 is showing the WiFi is detected but there is exclamation mark showing driver is not good.
how did you use M.2 WiFi card in 9010? the mobo does not have built in M.2 socket. did you use a PCIe adapter?

you should let Windows automatically find and install WLAN driver for you. manual is the old hat for Win XP and Win 7. in Win 10/11 let MS do it is the best way to ensure no issue.
