    Does the Windows 10 device you are using have wifi capabilities? If it is a laptop then it will, desktop maybe not but unusual for it to not have if it is from a major PC maker.

    If it does then you need the wifi password (usually on a card or written on the router). You join the wireless network from the PC and use the password to gain access. Lots of detailed instructions on the internet.

    Main assumption here is that the wifi signal is strong enough where the PC is located.
