After installing Win7 pro using Lenovo Recovery disks The only adapter that is visible in Device Manager is
Intel (R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection. Previously on Win 8.1 on another hard drive I had both this one and Advanced 6205. I cannot use wireless at all. The wireless tab on the T420 shows GREEN and the Wireless Radio is on. any help will be appreciated.

Are there any yellow exclamation marks in device manager indicating that some devices are not installed properly?

The question is the radio of what is on since apparently Windows doesn't see the wireless card...
-
Bluetooth and/or WWAN, maybe.
What does pressing Fn+F5 bring on the screen? -
I found 1 device with a yellow mark. It is a Network Controller ,I tried to update the Driver but was advised there was no driver ,NO manufacturer was stated

That has to be it. Download drivers for Intel 6205 from Intel website and see if it works.

Well that was a real journey! I went to Intel Web Site and found a new download for network adapters for Win 7 aqnd it certainly worked. Thanks to everyone for their time and patience.
