How exactly can I connect my PC to Wi-Fi if it doesn't have an Ethernet port? I've been searching for solutions, but most of them seem to assume that the computer has a wired connection option. Is there a specific adapter or dongle that I can use to enable Wi-Fi functionality? Also, I'm not very tech-savvy, so could you explain the process in simple steps? I'd appreciate any detailed guidance on how to set it up and make sure it's working properly. Thank you in advance for your help!

Does AirDrop really require Wi-Fi to function properly? I've heard some people say it works over Bluetooth, so what's the truth behind this? Is Wi-Fi a necessity, or can it operate without it in certain scenarios? I'm curious to know if there are any limitations or restrictions when it comes to using AirDrop without Wi-Fi. Can you clarify this for me? It would be helpful to understand the technical details behind its operation, especially when it comes to file transfers and device compatibility.

Could you please clarify for me if AirDrop relies on mobile data or Wi-Fi to operate? I'm curious about the technology behind it and whether it requires an active internet connection to function. Does it automatically use Wi-Fi even if it's not connected to a network? Or does it have the ability to operate solely over Bluetooth? I'd appreciate any insights you can provide on this matter.
