Installing network drivers without internet

[pbubs]

My HP Pavillion laptop can't connect to the internet because it doesn't have the correct drivers. It's supposed to have the network adapter called "Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160 MHz" but that isn't showing in the Device Manager. So I went on separate laptop to download this adapter from the Intel website on a flashdrive to transfer it, however the network adapter won't install because "this installation requires Windows 10.017763 or newer," which I think is the equivalent of version 1809. My laptop is Windows 10 version 1803. I also tried to download the Windows 10 version 1809 update to my flashdrive, but it requires a network connection to do so. Basically I'm stuck in a loophole of not having a connection. I also tried getting an ethernet cable but my laptop doesn't have the correct port to be connected. Is there anything I can do to get an internet connection?

Get yourself something like this:

Then, connect to the net using your ethernet lan cable.

Next time, do not let youself get so out-of-date.  1809 was FOUR years ago.
