hi,
you will need a wireless network card to plug in your desktop computer.

Hi, you don't need anything. Your laptop and desktop are now connected to the same network. You just have to enable file sharing on both computers. If you want your desktop to connect wirelessly you can add a network card and you can still do file sharing that way.
