So today I thought that its a good idea to upgrade from 10 to 11 and because my wifi and some drivers did not work, I had no wifi icon and it didn't even show me I had wifi capability in device manager.
So I installed windows 11 and what did I saw was wifi icon and drivers of Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 WiFi 7 (HBS) Network Adapter.
My wifi finally worked after many years but what I soon after that realised that I had lost all of my HDDs but my SSDs still worked.
I restarted my PC few times and looked my bios for HDDs where they all showed up and after going back to my desktop I had lost my WiFi icon and driver to use wifi again.
I have Aorus Z790 Master X rev 1.0 and using it's wifi antenna that game with it.

It would be wonderful if you can help me with both of my problems but first I need my HDDs back because they have some important files in them.
