Got tired of Windows and Dual Boot, after completely installing Ubuntu on an old 2011 Hp G4 cannot connect via Wifi. I know that it has to be something small although I am still a noob. Can someone help me? I checked the drivers and there is no help i can find with my issue.

Many laptops need a hardwire connection to finish installing drivers to get the wireless up and running. Many times just a few commands can get you on your way.
Check for your WiFi card type by typing this command into a terminal (open a new terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T)...
lspci -vnn -d 14e4:
If you have one of the cards that shows as working here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 then you can simply run the following commands with an ethernet connection to the Internet.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
If your device does not come up as green on the previous list, then you can try this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BroadcomSTA%28Wireless%29
