Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Compaq desktop. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your router and modem.
