Realtek wireless wifi driver

I've also tried several of the troubleshooting steps shown on Intel's support pages, but I can't find anything on this issue where the wifi driver installs bluetooth instead of wifi. I've already tried several times, but for whatever reason whenever I install the Wifi specific driver it only installs the Intel Bluetooth driver and not the Intel Wifi driver. And this time I checked the Bluetooth section and saw that it did install the Intel Bluetooth drivers. Next I fully uninstalled the old Realtek drivers (realized there were still some residual files/programs related to it) and attempted to install the drivers again. Check hidden devices and it wasn't there either. I checked Device Manager and the wifi adapter was not showing up. Once it finished installing I checked to see if I could connect to wifi, but no networks came up.

When I first installed the card I went to the Intel download center and downloaded the wifi driver. Even saw a couple of youtube videos suggesting this card as an upgrade for the same exact laptop. Problem is that I can't get the laptop to recognize the card as a wifi card. I checked to make sure it was compatible and it is.

As the title says I decided to upgrade my wifi card on my HP Pavilion Gaming laptop from a Realtek card to the AX200.
