It's better if you format it and install Windows 10 + Anti Virus

acctually , i'm not so intrested in reseting it ...because i don't dare
but the main question is my internet connection. i can't use my wireles intenet connection (wifi) , i don't know what i did , that it's not working , it doesn't even show me available wifi connection's in my region... you must be wondering what internet i'm using now if i can't connect to my wifi , well i'm using LAN connection. without LAN connection , i cannot get access to my internet. it is so annoying for me...i need to sit near my WIFI MODEM and i have to connect the cable to my laptop...i can't even use it in my room. this is so annoying ! so , if you're wise in these stuff , please give me any advises , your help is appriciated. ---thanks--- ----★ANONYMOUS★

I would just refresh the whole hard drive like nuke it. Once nuked, install the operating system that it's on before. Now the operating system, you need the installation disc or a bootable USB drive, I got the ISOs that can be burned on discs or copied to USB drive but I cannot send any stuff that you did not pay for. If you need help activating programs that you need on the laptop, I would ask Google. And you need AntiVirus installed, what this does. It protects your laptop against viruses. And for more protection I would tell, you need AntiMalware installed.
AntiVirus : AVG
AntiMalware : MalwareBytes
And fragmented files make your computer go slow so I would install a defragmenter if you don't like the Windows Defragmenter.
Run these every week. But there is a way to schedule the task which is better so it does it auto so you don't have to worry that much about it. I always have to put mine on a schedule because I always forget to run them.

That's fair enough -- I wouldn't recommend continuing to use this PC if you know or suspect that it's infected, especially if you do anything sensitive such as online banking, social networking and so on, but this is your thread and these are your decisions, so...moving on:
Unusable WiFi could be one of several things, such as:
- A bad/corrupted driver (have you updated any recently?)
- A failed WiFi Adapter (hardware)
As a quick test, do you have any other devices (i.e. a phone, tablet, laptop) that you can test with, just to double check there are networks within range?
Have you tried using Windows' network connection troubleshooter? There is a guide on doing this here: http://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-troub...k-problems

HAVE YOU PRESSED THE FN BUTTON AND LIKE F3 OR F4 ???
probs faulty drivers, or look in your adapter settings if the wifi adapter is even enabled, could be that too.
