Hello desmet If you are trying to drag the folder from your host machine to your VM it isn't possible with VirtualBox. It can be done in Parallels with Parallels Tools and VMware with VMware tools. Now, you need to put the folder if you downloaded it from windows onto a USB and mount it to your VM. Once you done that, open up a terminal window -> grab the folder with your mouse and a click and hold the click and move the mouse until you are over the terminal window.

Is it a guessing game ??? If you don't know how are we meant to know?? Name of wireless card is a good start. or use lspci or lsusb to identify card.
