Hi,
I am trying to install Win11 on my new Lenovo Air14. It was delivered with a Chinese version if the OS, so I formatted everything. I created a USB-drive with a second PC using the Media Creation Tool, but now I am stuck at the "Let's connect you to a network" screen.
No Networks are shown (my other Notebook right next to it shows 29)
Next doesn't work (greyed out)
Shift + F10 doesn't work
ALT+F4, doesn't work
I can't open any of the three options on the bottom right (greyed out)
The only FN keys working are brightness, volume and "project screen" (Win+P)
Anything I can do? I thought about trying to install Win10 first and then update.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
If you have a driver disk / dvd for your card (which might be needed for exotic hardware, i.e. laptop and/or it's network/wireless car), press Shift-F10 to open a command prompt. Go to D:\ by typing D: and run the setup exe located in the DVD (or ISO). If you reboot you'll see a network connection has been added.
Best regards,

I am stuck as well. There are no buttons we can press. We are stuck. It’s a fresh install. What are you supposed to do?
I had the same problem with no networks showing installing windows 11 on a new drive in a laptop. I ended up connecting my phone via usb and switched on usb tethering and it worked a treat. Everythin installed fine after that.
I ended up buying/plugging in a USB to Ethernet Adapter from local Best Buy into my new HP laptop (it does not have an Ethernet port) and used an Ethernet cable to plug the adapter into my Cable Modem/Router which gave it internet access and to reinstall/activate Windows 11. That worked for me.
