Win 10 Pro 32-Bit WiFi Adapter not recognized in Device Manager

T480 20L6

Refurbished laptop originally with Win 10 Pro 64-Bit installed. WiFi functioned correctly with 64-Bit. Installed Win 10 Pro 32-Bit due to compatibility issues with Master Trend software. After install, WiFi adapter not shown in Device Manager. There is a Network Controller device listed under Other Devices with no nomenclature nor any drivers.

Has anyone has this same issue and if so, what resolution have you found? Thanks in Advance!

Lenovo doesn't have a 32-bit wifi driver.
