Additional ways to check if your computer already has a NIC:

  • Contact your computer manufacturer.
  • Look for an Ethernet port on the back of your computer (it will look like a phone jack but a little bigger). The presence of an Ethernet port indicates that a NIC is already installed in your computer.
