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 made sure the secure boot and tpm were enabled. I ended up using an external usb network drive but it seems like MS should have bypass for that screen - like the dreaded sign in with an online account.

    Thanks - how would i know what build I'm downloading in advance? I went to this page and downloaded the iso - https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 

    I downloaded it from scratch yesterday so I could only assume it was the latest build.

    Does that build listed above have an escape or skip or bypass button on that page?

    I installed that build with local account, enabled internet for downloading updates.

    I think skip button will be visible, I forgot it remember.

    You can download that particular bulid from internet sites.
