The Thinkpad is a laptop computer manufactured by IBM and Lenovo. Like most modern laptop computers, the Thinkpad has a built in wireless adapter that you can use to connect to a wireless network and browse the Internet. Before you can connect to a network, you must first enable the wireless adapter on your Thinkpad. Fortunately enabling the wireless adapter is as simple as pressing the associated hotkeys on the keyboard; you can just as easily disable the network adapter by repeating the process.
Step 1
Open your Thinkpad and turn the laptop on. Log into Windows.
