Wireless network cards can be in a number of form factors when in relationship to a desktop computer. The two (2) most common are USB and PCI.
A PCI card plugs into a open PCI slot on your Mother Board. This requires you to power off your PC and remove the side cover. You would then locate an open PCI slot on your motherboard and remove the case cover plate in relationship to that open PCI slot. Gently place the PCI Wireless Network Card into the open PCI slot and screw the card flange to the PC case. Reinstall the PC's side cover and power up your PC and install th e driver from the manufacturers CD usually included in the package.
A USB Wireless card simply plugs into an open USB port on the outside of your PC and usually requires you to install the accompanying software supplied by the manufacturer.

Is a pc the same as an all in one computer?
A traditional desktop computer usually has a computer tower, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. An all-in-one desktop, however, tries to combine these. The actual computer will be inside of the (sometimes over-sided) monitor, and the monitor itself may include a touchscreen. You will still usually want a keyboard, rather that trying to use the on-screen one, and a mouse my be useful as well. You will at least be able to do away with the computer tower, however.
