The easiest way I have found when wifi card is not auto detected is to
Connect a Ethernet/LAN cable to the computer so you have a network connection active, run updates.
Then disconnect when updates have finished, and REBOOT.
If you can see Wifi networks it worked. If not then further investigation is required, possibly windows drivers.
There are sever guides to get it working on Ubuntu, however some Wifi cards are problematic.
I have the same card on my Dell, but run different distros, I will try installing LL and see if it works.....
