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.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Install and upgrade

    I know this is old but in case anyone else is having this issue. I used a hub I normally use for my MacBook to connect to the internet.

    The hub connects to the pc through USB-C and it has an Ethernet port. Here a picture of the one I used.

    Ali sadeghi3 - I don't know who you are responding to, but for me, I did try using a LAN cable connection and it still wouldn't work.
