I recently installed a TP-Link PCIe network card, but it's not showing up in Device Manager under Network Adapters. There's also an MSI wireless PCIe card included, and it's not appearing either. What steps should I take to troubleshoot this?

You definitely need to install the drivers for the network card first. You can usually find those on the manufacturer's website. Once that's done, it should show up!
I ran the installer but still can't find it in Device Manager. Might have to try reinstalling the drivers and ensuring everything is seated properly.
It’s likely hiding under 'Unknown devices'. Make sure to install the necessary drivers from the manufacturer’s site, and that should help detect the card properly.
Have you checked if there are any unknown devices or exclamation marks in Device Manager? It's a little surprising that the card doesn't come with a straightforward driver installation. Typically, you should download the drivers directly from the manufacturer's website. That might just do the trick!
