Ok, I'll assume your question stops at the word 'connected'.
Most, if not all laptops, come with a Wi-Fi capability. That's one of the main factors in buying a laptop over a desktop. But, if you're still not sure, grab her laptop and get into the Device Manager window. Once there, expand the Network Adapters window and look for a Wi-Fi adapter. If you don't see one listed, update your post with what you DO see, and we'll go from there.
If you do see a Wi-Fi adapter listed, then you probably just need to find the toggle switch that turns on the Wi-Fi function. If you tell us the MODEL of your HP/Compaq laptop we just might be able to find a User Guide for your machine and help you figure out how to enable the Wi-Fi adapter.
