How do I connect to the internet on my new Laptop-It has Windows 7?

On Xmas, My Mum and dad surprised me by gettin me a new laptop, it has Windows 7 on it, I can type up stuff on Microsoft Word and that but I can’t connect to the internet, I am writing this from my family dell computer which is old so my mum and dad bought me a laptop. My Dad bought a disk to go in it AOL 9.5 (THE UPDATED ONE) and we’ve tried and tried but it keeps -un-in-stalling it instead installing it, any help? please, I need my laptop to work (and I got a wireless adapter-still won’t work!)
