Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is the current operating system on your Sony laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your home network. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
