Windows 10: How to update my Wi-Fi driver in HP laptop

I'm facing a Wi-Fi issue on my laptop. Sometimes, the Wi-Fi icon disappears, and I'm unable to connect to any network. I want to update my Wi-Fi driver, but I'm not sure which software is capable for update old drivers without harming my laptop's data. Please note that I'm not very tech-savvy.

Wi-Fi errors (Windows 10)

I'm currently troubleshooting a HP laptop (HP G62-a10SQ to be more specific). The problem is that it doesn't want to connect to any Wi-Fi network. It leaves me with the generic error "Can't connect to this network." I've tried these steps so far

• Restarting the computer
  
• Flushing DNS
  
• Releasing and renewing the ipconfig
  
• Uninstalling the driver
  
• Reinstalling the driver
  
• Reseating the Wi-FI module
  
• Checking Windows Update for any drivers
  
• Updating the driver in Device Manager
  
• Temporarily removing my Wi-Fi encryption
  
• Trying to connect to a different Wi-Fi network outside of my network
  
• Probably more troubleshooting steps I can't remember atm (I will edit the post if I remember anything)
