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.

    I used exactly what was printed, in both lower and upper case letters. On a whim, I tried changing the slash to the opposite of what was being posted, and it worked. I even tried copy and pasting to make sure I wasn't messing it up.

    Bonjour,

    Pour l’installation Windows 11, la wifi ne peut effectivement être reconnue, il suffit d’acheter un adaptateur qui reçoit le routeur (une prise RG45) avec une prise USB à brancher sur l’ordinateur. Il reçoit à ce moment là Internet directement et peut poursuivre l’installation.

    L’autre solution est d’installer Windows 10 qui fonctionnera et faire ensuite la mise à jour Windows 11.

    English translation

    For Windows 11 installation, the wifi cannot be recognized, just buy an adapter that receives the router (an RG45 socket) with a USB socket to plug into the computer. At that point, they receive the Internet directly and can continue with the installation.

    The other solution is to install Windows 10 which will work and then do the Windows 11 update.

    Well yeah if the command recommended was \ and you used / then that explains it.
