How do you download WiFi support for your PC?

[Saleh_5]

I'm looking to build a PC but I heard that you can't have WiFi unless you buy some WiFi flash drive I can't use Ethernet because I share my WiFi why is that? When I installed a new OS for my laptop it didn't have WiFi unless you download it from a flash drive but I only needed to plug it once why do I need to keep the flash drive on to have WiFi I didn't need to do that in my old laptop I thought all PC need to download WiFi when installing a new OS please help and sorry for my english I hope you understand

I'm planning on buying Asrock H110m HDV

You dont use a flash drive, you need drivers. Once you install the drivers, you can use it

Wifi for a desktop or a laptop is provided by a piece of hardware, not software that you can download.

For a desktop, you'll need to buy a wifi adapter of some sort - whether it be a USB adapter (for example - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320175) or a PCIe adapter (for example - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704133).

With that motherboard youd need to buy a wireless card(either usb or pci-e) as it lacks a built in wireless card. Your laptop had wireless built in and required a driver to work and the usb flash drive was used to install the driver that is required for the os to use the hardware.
