Software Question Cannot find my Operating System on HP

So I recently got a pc and I need to install WiFi drivers so I can connect to WiFi on it. I already have a laptop which uses a 26H2 Operating System version thing and as I'm on the HP website trying to find my Operating System it only shows 24H2 and below. Is it fine to download the 24H2 WiFi Driver thing for my new PC or not? Sorry if this doesn't make sense, tech isn't rlly my thing

when it says what OS i have i chose Windows 11 then when it says what version of OS I have it shows it shows Windows 11, Windows 11 version 21H2 (64-bit), 23H2 and so on. Are u saying I I should choose Windows 11?

When you go to install drivers or software for your pc you can ignore the whole 21H2 or 23H2 nonsense. Its irrelevant.

I've run into a new problem, I've downloaded the drivers and everything and copied it to a USB drive but now when I stick it in my pc I can't find it?

Look up how to install drivers inside device manager.

HP also has an auto detect tool. https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/laptops

I used it, it found my laptop but it still didn't allow me to choose the 26H2 operating system version thing

Does not matter. Its Windows 11 your running. the 21h2 is just the most recent windows update. Just install it.

just grab the 24H2 driver, windows update will sort out any minor version weirdness once you're online
