Lenovo ThinkCentre 5048 Wifi
The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your router and modem. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Lenovo desktop. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have.
