No wifi connection with 32 bit?

Hi

Uber-noob is having another problem.

I've booted Ubuntu 16.04 (64bit) fine now on a new Windows 10 machine, from USB. Also booted the 32 bit version up fine on my older Dell Inspiron with Vista. But I can't get the Dell machine to connect to wifi. In fact I can't find any wifi connection there at all.

I used this bit from the help pages "

• Click the network menu on the menu bar and make sure that the Enable Wireless setting is checked."
  

But I can't see that anywhere. I can only find a network menu with an ethernet option. Or an option to create a wifi connection, but I have no idea how to do that, or if that's the right thing if no wifi is showing anywhere?

Can anyone help?
