No the device does not have a wireless adapter. So I would need one for Wlan to appear?

I don't understand.
If the "device" doesn't have wireless capability, why would you expect wireless to show?
What distro are you using? Does the "device" have a model and make, or can you give us some basic specs?

I almost want to bet that it's gonna turn out to be some Kali thing.
Yes, Yes it is. Im using a kali linux Virtual Machine for the lab.
I don't know. I am very new to linux and everything.
VMs typically do not have Wifi adapter pass thru.
There are ways to do this in some VM hosting platforms ( ESX, Proxmox ).
But typically, if all you have is a host machine with a wifi adapter, it will show up as a LAN
interface in the VM.

OK it goes like this, First you need to be Linux experienced and terminal competent to even think about using Kali [see the first 2 post in the Kali forums] https://www.linux.org/forums/kali-linux.162/
second, you need to know the principles of how a VM works, so your VM is a guest of your main OS [I guess windows]
the VM can only make a connection to the outside world by the use of the host controller by what is known as a bridge, if you click on the connection icon it should show as bridge. to Give a VM its own outside connection, you will need another wi-fi adaptor, and then set the USB protocols in the VM
