I am trying to plug a USB wifi adaptor to raspberry pi zero and I got driver problem so I removed the sd card and usb wifi adaptor and put it on a raspberry pi 4 and installed the drivers and when I check on raspberry pi 4 driver works there is wlan0 and wlan1 in ifconfig. But when I transfer the sd card and the wifi adaptor to the raspberry pi zero it does not show up. It's not a USB to micro USB adaptor problem I check that it works...

UPDATE with info from a comment:
i installed a fresh copy of rasbian into sd card and installed 8188fu-4.19.118-v7l-1311 driver but still it does not see the wifi adaptor this is where I downloaded the driver downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/8188fu-drivers.

    The drivers are kernel level specific. It best to run the config utility from downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/install-wifi for it to check. I take it you are putting it into the correct USB port? Commented Jul 2, 2020 at 2:15

They have different drivers and hardware. Hence this updates won't work. You have to install files for Zero only. RPi4 and Zero drivers will conflict with each other.
