Advanced-N 6235 Bluetooth Unable to load driver program properly

My computer is DELLM6800, an old machine. I recently upgraded to WIN11, but found that only the Bluetooth driver cannot adapt. The network card model is N6235, which can be used normally under WIN10 before. Request officials to provide an adapted driver or an INF driver file that can be forcibly adapted. Thank you.

Al didn't look close enough at your post. Your 4th gen processor is NOT supported, by Intel or Microsoft, for use with Windows 11. Yea, yea, blah, blah, blah, I know, there are hacks that will allow you to install Windows 11 and, for the most part, it runs reasonably well.

The Advanced-N 6235 is another story, however. This adapter came out in 2012 and was discontinued in 2015, but driver support continued into 2019, long enough that Windows 10 support was included. There is no support for Windows 11, however. You can try using the final Windows 10 drivers for it, but there are no guarantees that they will work.

Since Intel no longer provides driver downloads for discontinued devices, there is nothing on the Intel site that you can use. Over time, I have archived the final supporting driver packages for the various adapters when Intel announced their driver support discontinuations. I have made this portion of my archive available in a cloud share. Use this link: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtacZBU04mo-j-tQ34BdSDv6y1BFsg?e=7gn50T to access my archive. Subfolders provide final driver packages for most of the Discontinued Wireless adapters.

Hope this helps,

What is your processor model number?

It has been resolved and a suitable driver has been found. It has been installed on Win11 and is adapting normally. Thank you for your enthusiastic response.。
