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.

Glad that worked, was not an option for me as I am primarily Wireless. My router is too far away in my home office to connect to it directly and it's just not convenient. The post I made resolves the need to hard-wire the laptop to the router. It is a permanent solution for the many laptops I have to configure.
I had to connect to ethernet, then SHIFT+F10 and assign a static IP netmask and gateway using netsh, plus dns server.
This worked for me. Thank you.
try Fn + shift+ F10
Beautiful! so simple so fast and it beats the heck out of running out to buy a USB NIC.
